Dr. James Lin answered

Here are some...: Are you pregnant? If so, at how many months is the pregnancy? I assumed nearing the term since the placenta previa may be palpable or detected by US. If yes, do not masturbate so to protect the fetus as much as you can until checking with your ob-gyn doctor.
