Introduction
Masturbation during pregnancy usually does not cause fetal malformations. Masturbation in pregnancy is an external stimulus that excites local nerves, and generally does not lead to fetal abnormalities. Causes of fetal malformations include genetic factors, radiation exposure, nuclear radiation, external stimulating factors, or the use of certain specific medications during illness in early pregnancy, which may result in fetal malformations.
Self-stimulation during pregnancy usually does not cause fetal malformations.
Self-stimulation during pregnancy is an external stimulus that may excite local nerves, but generally does not lead to fetal malformations. Causes of fetal malformations include genetic factors, radiation exposure, nuclear radiation, external stimuli, or the use of certain special medications during illness in early pregnancy, which might result in fetal abnormalities.
If you have been exposed to toxic substances, be sure to clearly inform medical staff during prenatal checkups, as this can assist in detecting fetal abnormalities. It's important to complete all recommended screenings for congenital anomalies, such as NT scans, 3D ultrasound, 4D ultrasound, non-invasive DNA testing, and Down syndrome screening, to help ensure fetal health.
Although self-stimulation during pregnancy does not cause fetal malformations, it may subject the fetus to external influences, potentially leading to symptoms of threatened miscarriage. Moreover, it is considered an unhealthy sexual habit; hands may carry bacteria that could cause infections or inflammation around the vaginal area. Self-stimulation and sexual intercourse are not recommended during the first and third trimesters of pregnancy.
