Hi i'm a 16 year old female who recently got cystitis. The cause of that seems most likely to have been from frequent sex though I am unknown. I went to the doctor's last week because i was in a lot of pain and sickness from it and was prescribed antibiotics and i am almost at the end of the course. I have obviously been abstaining from sex and opting for baths instead of showers and basically doing everything so as to try to keep the cystitis away. I wanted to know if i could externally masturbate or would it irritate my cystitis symptoms?
