Self-abuse is another term for self-harm, i.e. any action that causes damage or harm to oneself. It is also an antiquated expression for masturbation because it was once wrongly thought that masturbation leads to mental or physical disorders. For example, the American medical doctor John Harvey Kellogg who thought that masturbation was the worst evil one could commit, often referred to it as "self-abuse".
Today, self-abuse will mostly refer to self-inflicted wounds and other non-deadly forms of self-destructive behavior.
