Hi AAAAA
Thanks for consulting us.
Having sex or taking iron supplements are not considered to be a reason for change in the frequency of periods.
Although stress & change in health status particularly weight is a known factor that can influence the frequency of periods in young girls.
I suggest you should see a Gynecologist if the current pattern persists for few months to find out the cause of this increased frequency as this may result in further decrease in hemoglobin levels.
Please write back if you have any question.
Wish you good health.
Best Regards.

Hi,
You are welcome here with all your questions.
No, Masturbation has not been blamed for any future uterine weakness so far.
Take care.

Perfect, Thank you tons for your answer, i feel this is quite secure... i still need t get 1 information as when me and my bf complete the sex, i could find that there are some blood stains at the condom. is it because he's going XXXXXXX inside my skin layers or my waste is discharging out when he's to have intercourse with me... this is something bad i feel and not able to be with him in a complete mind...

Hi AAAAA
Welcome back.
This is definitely abnormal & need investigation.
I suggest you should plan a Gynecologist visit. The doctor will examine you & do some tests on you before you can be reassured that there is nothing wrong.
Specifically you need a pap smear test if this is not done recently.
Wish you best of luck.
Warm regards.
