Hi Aunt Vadge,
What does it indicate when there is no pain or discomfort, but only bleeding after fingering? When does this bleeding stop? Is it harmful? Are there chances of pregnancy? What precaution is to be taken?
Sincerely,
Confused

Dear Confused,
No pain or discomfort, but bleeding after fingering, may indicate that there is a structure inside the vagina that is being disturbed. Some delicate tissue with no nerve endings may have been irritated or received some trauma during fingering, and should be looked into by a doctor.
It could also indicate the menstrual period is arriving! If you’re likely to be getting your period imminently, then there is no cause for concern.
It is abnormal for there to be bleeding after fingering, especially when there’s no pain or any visible signs of damage to accompany the bleeding. It is probably nothing harmful, and since there are no chances of pregnancy from fingering (as long as there isn’t semen or pre-cum on the finger, so no penis-hand touching the vagina – wipe it first), you don’t need to take any special precautions.
Read Fingering Basics to get a better idea of fingering, and if the bleeding happens again or doesn’t stop (and is not your period), please see a doctor or sexual health clinic to be examined. You may have something more serious going on that needs to be looked at by a health professional.
Warmest regards,
Aunt Vadge
