Could Remnant Gonorrhea Be Due To Masturbation?
Two weeks ago,I was diagnosed with having gonorrhea but I have been to the doctors and given the jab and antibiotics.
It seems to work as I did not experience pain when urinating and there is no longer any discharge.
Two weeks later, today, I went for the test & check up and I was told that there is still some 'leftover' infection, although I am not experiencing discomfort like before.
My question is, why is this so and could it be due to masturbation?
Because I did masturbated four days before this post check-up.

Hello,
Thnx to contact us. I understand your concern.
If I am your doctor I advice you that masturbation has no effect on gonorrhea. The residual infection in you is because of some other reason. Resistance in the bacteria could be the reason. Continue the extended treatment and get tested again.
I will be happy to answer more of your concerns, kindly know me,
Wish you a very good health at health care magic.
Dr. Arun Tank. Infectious Disease.
