Brief Answer:
There is no need to wait!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this recurrent infections and your disability. I understand it must not be easy dealing with it. Recurrent UTI are caused by the catheter and not masturbation. Feel free to masturbate as you please without feel of an infection. There is no need to wait as there is little information which suggests that masturbation causes UTI.

If the recurrence is too often, you may want to talk to your doctor about getting prophylactic antibiotics to cover up for this and prevent frequent infections.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
