Cervix or uterus pain after masturbation?

I started getting pain two days after I masturbated. Like a dull achy pain. The pelvic area where my uterus is hurts now. Right at the pubic bone (The pelvic area right above my vagina). Like pressure pain. It hurts to sit and feels like I have to poop constantly. I've been in pain like this for three days and still am. I don't know if I injured myself or not. As much as I'd like to get checked out, I have no medical card and I don't want to converse with my mom about accidentally hurting myself masturbating.

It is less likely due to your masturbation more likely could be ovulatery pain which is at the mid cycle 14-16 days after your menstruation which is normal.
Given your insurance status, you may visit with planned parenthood center for evaluation.
Masturbation is a natural action that we do to fulfill a natural desire; it causes contractions to the uterine muscle in general and those muscles extend to the cervix. You did not cause yourself any injury by stimulation uterine contractios; it’s similar to what the uterus does when it’s having a menstrual period or when they are stronger contractions, it can mimic labor pains. Both of these contractions are stimulated by Prostaglandin; so taking an anti-prostaglandin like Ibuprofen can help. Takin 400mg Ibuprofen is usually enough; but occasionally a repeat dose or an increase up to 600mg is necessary; but you did not cause any injury to yourself so know that you are healthy.
