Hi,

Thanks for visiting XXXXXXX .

Bleeding after masturbation, can be due to some degree of hymenal rupture. It is also possible that hymen is intact and there is injury to private parts by sharp nails. Bleed may also happen if there is underlying infection and symptoms like itching, per vaginal non bloody discharges etc. are there. Sometimes there may be co-incidence of starting of period at the time of masturbation itself.

If it has stopped and is not being followed by any other symptom, then there is nothing to worry. Just get relaxed and enjoy the life.

Best wishes
