Masturbation, Sex and Periods

I feel really ashamed and embarassed about this but I need help so I've at least got to try to talk about it.
I have (diagnosed) PCOS and have not had an actual period in quite some time now.
Whenever I have sex or masturbate, I always bleed though-is this normal?
It's painful and a worry for me.

good to talk about things that are worrying us and shouldnt feel ashamed or embarrassed but understand can feel like that.
I think for some first few times its normal to bleed & hurt. & i think the bleed would be from it stretching & no where else but yeah wouldnt quote me on that. But if youve been having sex & mastubating for awhile, Or just randomly happening then best to see gp. Or even not, could see your gp to see if anything wrong and if not then that could help with your worrying
