Did I miscarry or is it my period?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
You know how long and heavy your typical period is. During a miscarriage, bleeding gets heavier and lasts longer than a period. As your cervix starts to dilate, cramping may become more painful than typical period cramping.

I'm a 25-year-old woman and I've been having this really intense pain in my lower tummy right after I masturbate. Ive done all the testsSTD tests, ultrasound, and even a vaginal swaband everything has come back normal. Im super confused and a bit worried about what could be causing this pelvic pain, especially when it hits so hard every time. Any thoughts on what might be going on?
Masturbation now is regarded as a normal, healthy sexual activity that is pleasant, fulfilling, acceptable, and safe. It is a good way to experience sexual pleasure and can be done throughout life. Masturbation is only considered a problem when it inhibits sexual activity with a partner, is done in public, or causes significant distress to the person. It may cause distress if it is done compulsively or interferes with daily life and activities.
