vaginal bleeding from possible injury
First off, i should say i've never spotted between periods so i'm relatively freaked out.
2 nights ago, I pleasured myself using an object.. and since then i have been spotting. it isn't too heavy, and the blood is mostly 'dead'. I've also noticed, today, a large chunk of some pale yellow/white substance, which i typically have after a few hours of panty use; however, this chunk is clumped up. I only had abdominal pain if i pressed upon my lower tummy (i don't anymore)and the first night i just felt a little weird, no pain came on its own (but that could have been just stressed about the spotting)
i am sexually active, my last period was like 10 days ago, and i should mention it was the most painful period i had ever had in my life. they have never been that bad.
i took a Labcorp pregnancy test 5 days ago and it was negative.
i'm pretty sure it's just a vaginal injury. i really would like to know what i should do to recover.
thanks.

It does sound like you have injured your vagina, pretty bad at that if you are bleeding after two days and chunky things are exiting your body.
I would guess that you may have an infection, as I cannot figure out what "chunky pale yellow/white" things could be other than some sort of yeast or bacterial infection.
A yeast infection isn't really a big deal and can clear up with some over the counter medication; however, a bacterial infection can be very serious and can leave your body with a lot of trauma if not treated by a professional.
Bacterial infections are caused by the same things yeast infections are caused from--sex, tight clothes, vaginal injuries, douching, etc. Oddly enough, they also start out with the exact same symptoms of a yeast infection. The only catch is that it cannot be cleared up with over-the-counter medication and can cause major damage, including infertility and something referred to as Pelvic Inflammatory Disease.
The bacteria that cause BV can infect the uterus and fallopian tubes.
PID can cause abscesses, scarring and damage to your reproductive organs. This can cause pelvic pain, infertility and ectopic pregnancies. Ectopic pregnancy is where a fetus starts to develop outside the womb (usually in a fallopian tube). The fetus won't survive and needs to be removed and may rupture the tube. The sooner PID is treated, the better.
Around 3 in 10 women with PID develop chronic pelvic pain. About 1 in 10 women who have had PID can no longer have children as a result of damage to their fallopian tubes.
For those women with PID who do go on to get pregnant, up to 1 in 20 will have an ectopic pregnancy. There may also be complications with childbirth, such as having a pre-term baby or passing on the infection to the baby.
BV is treatable with antibiotics prescribed by a health care provider. Two different antibiotics are recommended as treatment for BV: metronidazole or clindamycin. Either can be used with non-pregnant or pregnant women, but the recommended dosages differ. For reference, BV can recur after treatment.
Please see your doctor as soon as possible to get yourself checked out. You really don't want to be suffering pain years later because you were too foolish to seek medical attention when it was required. I hope everything will be okay and the doctor finds an easily treatable issue.
