Question 1

can masturbation cause cervix to close?

Accepted Answer

No: That's a myth perpetuated by religious zealots.

Question 2

can masturbation cause more bleeding of the cervix 2 weeks after a cone biopsy?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Masturbation is a broad term that means different things to different people. If you use a toy that makes any contact with the  healing areas you should expect it to trigger some bleeding. If you don't place any object in the vagina it should not. Disrupted tissues take time to heal. Your doc likely provided you with those guidelines by nixing intercourse over that timeframe.

Question 3

could masturbation contribute to the start of a period? does your cervix (or any area) contract when orgasming that could possibly cause this?

Accepted Answer

Here are some ...: Period would not be initiated by orgasmic contraction from climax of masturbation. If having vaginal spotting after masturbation, it's still a good idea to look into potential causes such as sex-related physical or chemical related factors or if there is any vulnerable mucosa especially at cervix. So, seek pro-evaluation and counseling timely.

Question 4

if you masturbate with a brush (cleaned and sterilized) and go a little bit too hard can it damage your cervix and cause an incompetent cervix?

Accepted Answer

Not incompetence: Using a brush, depending on how stiff the bristles are, could hurt the lining of your vagina and cervical epithelium. It is not a good idea to use a brush for masturbation, though it is not likely to result in an incompetent cervix.
Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex. 
Get HPV vaccine, if you are under 27 years of age.

Question 5

can masturbation that includes tightening vagina muscles and thigh muscles, and stomach muscles cause the cervix to dilate/shorten?

Accepted Answer

No difference: In a normal healthy woman, doing fun activities that include tightening one's vaginal muscles, thigh muscles, and stomach muscles does not create a notably different effect on her cervix compared to doing fun activities that do not involve her vaginal muscles, thigh muscles, and stomach muscles.

Question 6

during masturbation, i touch my cervix with my fingers (washed hands before). is this likely to cause hpv or cervical cancer?

Accepted Answer

No: HPV is transmitted from other person (partner)  who has genital warts,  yes HPV infections a later stage of life will give cervical cancer.  At 16 you should consider to get vaccinated. Speak to your parents.
