It is possible to masturbate right after menstruation ends, but it is not recommended. Masturbation can cause pelvic congestion, which might lead to vaginal bleeding shortly after your period has finished. Therefore, this practice is not advised. If you do masturbate despite the recommendation, maintain good personal hygiene by keeping the external genital area clean every day. Avoid cold or spicy foods during your period, prevent catching a cold, drink plenty of warm water, and avoid strenuous exercise.
