does masturbating affect UTI?

Hi there,

Many ask this question and I usually like to say that there can be problems if you masturbate when you have urinary tract infection but its not always the rule that you will make things worse. Urinary tract infection is condition that your body can handle on its own in most cases, but severe ones need help from antibiotics. Even if you want to fasten the process of healing you should use antibiotics and if you ask your doctor about this he will also agree. My suggestion is that you wait with masturbation until your infection is cleared. You could feel some pain in your penis caused by urinary tract infection.

All the best,

Danella
