I know, I know.
Loooong time.
It happened to me before, and when I was on antibiotics (for bronchitis) it stopped.

But now, I have no idea what to do and why.

It started around the 13th (reg period is around 19th) and it was the day after I masturbated a little. Is it a masturbation injury? If it is, how the hell am I supposed to tell my parents (well, my dad, I won't tell my mom anything) about this?
They know I've been bleeding for a while, but they don't know about the masturbation thing, cause I just found out yesterday that the bleeding could be linked to it.

*sigh,* please help, anyone.

Vaginal bleeding that lasts that long is something you should have a doctor look into. All the more if this has happened before.

If you didn't have any pain when you masturbated, it's not likely related to that, but I don't think you have to worry about whatever the why is of this right now. You just need to get some healthcare.

I don't know because I don't know anything about your healthcare coverage. If you use public healthcare services, it absolutely should be covered. If you use health insurance, that's going to depend on your specific plan.

But I think you need to figure out a way to get seen regardless: again, three weeks of bleeding should not go on without care.
