Should I Wait A Few Days To See If The Bleeding Stops Before Seeing A Doctor?

Posted on Mon, 7 Oct 2024

Question: I’m very embarrassed but I masterbated using the handle of a hair brush today and now I’m bleeding. Could this have caused a tear or injury? Should I wait a few days to see if the bleeding stops before seeing a doctor?
Also wanted to mention I am sexually active.

You may need to go to ER to see if the injury is significant or not and if you need help to stop bleeding.
Don't be embarrassed but seek medical attention soon .

It was only bleeding for a little bit like 2 minutes but it has stopped now and hasn’t bled ever since.
