  • Hi Gavi, and thank you for posting.

    I am sorry to learn that you are having symptoms that are causing you concern.

    There can be many causes of bleeding during masturbation, such as vigorous sexual activity or urinary infection.

    It is not a common sign of cancer, especially in someone of your age. Hopefully, this will resolve on its own, but if you continue to experience bleeding, then do go to your GP. It is only a doctor who can assess you and send you for any necessary tests, who can say what the cause might be.

    I hope this gets resolved for you.
