Should Masturbation Or Intercourse Be Discontinued During Pregnancy?

I m 15 weeks pregnant. Day after masterbation, I get a light brown spotting mixed with clear discharge. The discharge, although light, lasts for a couple of days. It s happened each time after masterbation the last 2 times. At 9 weeks, I had 2 areas of sub-chronionic bleeding where I soaked a pad over 3 hours, but then stopped gradually. Is the masterbation causing old blood to be passed? Or is this new blood? I ve been reading that masterbation/orgasm can cause the cervics to bleed because it s enlarged and sensitive. I guess the bottom line is stop masterbation or intercourse altogether?

Hi, Dr Purushottam Neurgaonkar here. I welcome you to HCM VIRTUAL CLINIC. I have gone through your question, and I think I have understood your concern. I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.

Please do not worry.
1 ) Ate you using sex toy to masturbation. If you are inserting it deep inside the vagina, it can cause bleeding from cervix.

2 ) As you said you had bleeding inside in the early pregnancy, the brown discharge can be the old collection that is passed out. Fresh bleeding is bright red in colour . So you need not worry about it.

3 ) I will suggest to go ahead with non penetrative masturbation . Vulval and clitoral stimulation can help you to nasturbate and get orgasm,

As such you can go ahead safely with masturbation or even safe sex activity till 32 to 34 weeks of pregnancy. .

I hope this answer helps you.
Thanks
