Question
When i masturbate i see streaks of blood in my discharge. Also when my boyfriend and I engage in sexual-like activity blood also appears. This blood is not caused by my period. And as i said is in streaks. Also, i notice a bump inside of my vagina about the depth of my middle finger. I am not sure if this is the cause of my bleeding. What is the cause of this blood and should I go see a doctor? I'm 15 and just over came a UTI. i do not experience any pain during masturbation or sexual-like activities.
Answer
The bleeding is a little unusual, Sometimes that is a symptom of an infection. I would like you to go to your physician or local clinic to be checked out. Take care.
