The standard word is masochism, but please read on. There are different reasons why a person would hurt him or herself, and it wouldn't really be appropriate to call them all 'masochism'. This word has to do more with causing self pain or humiliation as part of mental disorders called paraphilias. In other words, the pain or humiliation is a way to enhance sexual pleasure. There are people who hurt themselves for other reasons. For example, cutting behavior is sometimes seen as a strategy to reduce anxiety. It really wouldn't be right to refer to this kind of behavior as masochism.
