Absence of period due to Masterbation

[MsUndrstood]

This will be my first time EVER coming out about this issue,and I love how I can express myself on here and no one judges you...thank you! Okay so at the tender age of ten i hit puberty quick! I started masterbating,which is normal for kids but usually it stops. I am now 22 and I still do it. Maybe even more. It went from once a month to two or three times a week! I don't think anything is wrong with masterbating because at least I don't have to worry a out Std's or pregnancy. If your wondering have I been sexually active? Yes,with two past boyfriends. I'm very insecure with my body so I'd much rather do myself you know! Your probably thinking ok wheres the problem! Well when I was younger I'd master bate right before my menstral cycle and it would then skip that month and proceed the next. I didn't think anything of it as my body is going through horomonal changes. As I grew older my menstral cycle will skip two months depending on how many times I masterbated before the expected date of my period is suppose to arrive. I have not been vocal about this because I'm sooo scared that something is internally wrong with me. I fear doctors,because you always walk out with a bigger situation. I'm afraid that as I age the masterbating will get worse! Idk maybe I need a man! I tried to google my problem but there's nothing like it or anyone for that matter! If anyone has any knowledge regarding this matter I'd really appreciate it. thank you!

Masturbation will not affect your period. And even if it did, I doubt you do it enough to effect that.

 

If you are worried about your period cycles you really need to speak to a doctor.

Agreed. Masturbation will not effect your cycle. I really think before you engage in any more sexual activity you really need to do a lot of reading and research. Educate yourself, planned parenthood can give you a ton of information. Any thing you read/hear about, confirm it with a reputable source such as PP, the mayo-clinic, etc.

Oh jeez. If masturbation could stop your period I would have skipped practically every period from the time I was 19 on. I wish.

Interesting situation. Get thee to the local library and educate thyself. Google works too. Make an appointment, some clinics are relatively free or spend a few bucks and get a few expert opinions. Can't hurt and better safe than sorry. Take care of you first.

Materbation, and doing it from a young age, has absolutely nothing to do with your cycle. It sounds like a coincidence when your period skips a month.

 

I've had friends with irregular cycles and this was usually attributed to poor diets, lack of vitamins and/or enzymes, too much physical exercise or lack thereof, or developmental issues. Typically, this irregularily can be corrected by a change in diet, increased (or decreased) exercise, and going on a mild birth control pill in order to regulate the cycle.

 

Don't you worry - having sexual pleasure has no cause or effect on your period.
