I’m a 22-year-old male currently dealing with an E. coli infection. I have just two days remaining on my antibiotic course, and I haven’t experienced any symptoms since I started the medication ten days ago. My physician advised against masturbation to prevent the infection from potentially moving to my testicles. However, given that I’m nearly finished with my meds and feel fine, I’m wondering if it’s safe to do it now, as the abstinence is becoming difficult. I’d appreciate any guidance. Thank you. Edit: If you have an answer, please provide an explanation for clarity. Most information I’ve found online suggests that as long as I maintain strict hygiene, it shouldn’t be an issue. I’m unable to get in touch with my doctor right now, which is why I’m seeking advice here.
