Suggest Treatment For Repeated Episodes Of UTI Over A Period Of Time
Question: Hi Doc, I currently have a UTI and the medication has been going on for about 15 days. The doctor has asked me to continue the medicine for another month. I have been resisting the urge to masturbate until now but, I masturbated once yesterday. I again have the urge to ejaculate today. Is it okay for me to masturbate this frequently or should I avoid it? Also, I would like to add that the reason for the UTI was E-Coli. Also, I had UTI twice last year in December... so this is the third time it's happening even after taking all the precautions, drinking enough water and maintiaining cleanliness. Please suggest. Thank you.

Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have repeated episodes of UTI over a period of last one year and have been taking Ofloxacin and Tomsulosin since 2 weeks
I shall be happy if you can post me few more details to help me in making comments on your problem.
1) Have you done Urine culture and Sensitivity test?.
Normally UTI is controlled within two weeks if one takes appropriate antibiotics as per culture report.I do not understand the rationale behind taking Ofloxacin for 6 weeks and Tomsulosin for UTI.
Please get your routine urine test and urine culture done to find out the organisms causing this infection and antibiotics to which they are sensitive to.
Please take broad spectrum antibiotics like Cefexine along with urinary antiseptic like Nitrofurantoin twice daily and urine alkaliser thrice daily.Later on switch on to appropriate antibiotics as per culture report.
Get the prescription of medicines from your family Physician.
Ensure to drink more water.To keep your urine dilute This will help to control dysuria.
As regards your query for frequency of masturbation I would suggest you to masturbate thrice a week and to ensure that you do not get addicted to it.
