Is Masturbation Safe While Having Low-lying Placenta?
Question: Hello i want to know can i masturbate as I am 16 weeks pregnant, at 10 th week i had bleeding and report says placenta was low and was on bed rest for 2 weeks and then at 12 weeks report says placenta is posterier grade 0 reaching upto the internal os. After that no bleeding was there. I wanted to know is it safe to masturbate
Brief Answer:
Avoid masturbation or vaginal insertion.
Detailed Answer:
Hello Dear,
Thanks for writing to us. I understand your concern. Followings are my comments:
1) I have reviewed your scan report and it also suggests that inferior placental margin reached up to the internal Os. This type of presentation is seen among few percentage cases during early weeks or 2nd trimester. As uterus is enlarged, the lower part of the uterus also grows and stretches, taking the placenta with it to move upwards in 3rd trimester.
2) You had H/O vaginal bleeding at 10th week and almost same finding at 12th week's report. Therefore, I DON'T recommend any vaginal insertion or penetration at this stage. Masturbation should be AVOIDED as it may increase risk of vaginal bleeding or further miscarriage.
3) Lastly, you can watch porn and do clitoral stimulation or rubbing (on sitting position and NOT on lying down) to get some relief from sexual stress. Maintain genital hygiene properly. Do periodic check up to your doctor and proceed necessary investigations.
Hope, I have answered your query. Wish your good health and take care.
