Missed Period: Could Deep Penetration During Masturbation Be the Cause?

Menstruation has not occurred?

1.
Last month, I used a massage wand for deep penetration during masturbation, but there was no bleeding.
However, my period hasn't come this month.
Could it be that I caused an injury during masturbation that is preventing my period from coming?
2.
If I go to see a doctor, what kind of questions might they ask?

Hello, the factors that can affect the menstrual cycle include age, environment, lifestyle, stress, emotional instability, weight changes, medications, emergency contraceptive pills, diet, polycystic ovary syndrome, lesions of the uterus or cervix, infections, ovulation, pregnancy, and breastfeeding, among others.
These are key points to consider during the consultation and examination.
If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a gynecologist to check for hormonal imbalances or other underlying causes.
Thank you! Wishing you peace and health, Dr.

More Info

When it comes to missed periods, there are several factors to consider, and deep penetration during masturbation is generally not a direct cause of a missed menstrual cycle. The menstrual cycle can be influenced by a variety of factors including hormonal changes, stress, changes in weight, exercise levels, and underlying health conditions.
1. Could Deep Penetration During Masturbation Be the Cause?
While deep penetration during masturbation can cause temporary discomfort or minor injuries, it is unlikely to affect your menstrual cycle directly. The menstrual cycle is regulated by hormones produced by the ovaries, pituitary gland, and hypothalamus. If there was no bleeding or significant injury during the act, it is improbable that this would lead to a missed period.
Other common reasons for a missed period include:
- Pregnancy: If there is any possibility of sexual intercourse leading to pregnancy, this should be the first consideration. A home pregnancy test can help determine this.

- Stress: High levels of stress can disrupt hormonal balance, leading to missed or delayed periods.

- Weight Changes: Significant weight loss or gain can affect your menstrual cycle.

- Exercise: Intense physical activity can also lead to missed periods, particularly in athletes.

- Health Conditions: Conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), thyroid disorders, or other hormonal imbalances can affect menstruation.

2. If You Go to the Doctor, What Questions Might They Ask?
If you decide to consult a healthcare provider about your missed period, they may ask several questions to help determine the cause. These could include:
- When was your last menstrual period? This helps establish a timeline.

- Have you experienced any other symptoms? Such as abdominal pain, unusual discharge, or changes in mood.

- Are you sexually active? This is important for assessing the possibility of pregnancy.

- Have you experienced any significant stress or changes in your life recently? This could include changes in work, relationships, or lifestyle.

- What is your exercise routine like? Intense exercise can impact menstrual cycles.

- Have you had any recent changes in weight? Weight fluctuations can affect hormonal balance.

- Do you have any underlying health conditions? Such as thyroid issues or polycystic ovary syndrome.

In summary, while deep penetration during masturbation is unlikely to be the cause of a missed period, it is essential to consider other factors that could be influencing your menstrual cycle. If the missed period persists or if you have other concerning symptoms, it is advisable to seek medical attention for a thorough evaluation. Remember, early detection and intervention are key in addressing any potential health issues.
