I m male and 23 years old !
Urine culture has been done and according to the sensitivity one of the doctor has prescribed me nitrofurantoin drug and that's the reason I am taking niftran tablet since past 6 days ! I have lost the report ! I am masturbating daily ! Is that stopping me from total recovery because since past 20 days I have stopped tea coffee and all other caffienated drinks and drinking a lot of water ! I could see symptoms getting better and then suddenly I start urinating more ! If I could hold up and drink less water I can wait till 2 or 3 hours but if I drink water once I will be getting the urge to urinate for every 15mins ! It's been quite frustrating because I m unable to go anywhere outside ! Please tell me the exact measures needed to be taken !
I don't have any pain ! No burning sensation ! May be I will get them if I stop taking water and drink tea and all because that had happened 3 weeks back ! It's just UTI and I want to get rid of it completely ! Before this I suffered with UTI even in march once ! And that automatically went away without any tablet ! But this time I had taken a lot of care and it isn't leaving me since two months ! Is masturbation the only reason?
