Question 1

could mutual masturbation while on chlamydia treatment cause reinfection? and how long after treatment could i get retested?

Accepted Answer

Fluid transmission: Chlamydia is passed from one person to the other through fluid transfer. If no fluid passed from one person to the other then chlamydia can not be transferred. Retesting to make sure you are cured is best done 2 weeks after treatment

Question 2

if my partner and i mutually masturbated 2 days after both taking 1g of azithromycin for chlamydia, with no sex, could we get reinfected?

Accepted Answer

No: It is unlikely and hopefully hands were thoroughly washed before and after. Make sure you are both re-tested for Chlamydia after the designated period of time after the Azithromycin by the MD(s).

Question 3

can i catch chlamydia by masturbating?

Accepted Answer

No: No. If you do not have chlamydia & self-masturbate - it will not lead to developing an infection.

Question 4

will masturbating affect clearing up my chlamydia?

Accepted Answer

Use good hygiene: You should wash your hands with warm soapy water before and after, and make sure not to touch other mucous membranes or your eyes. There is some risk that it could slow the overall recovery but it is possible if done with care and vigilance.

Question 5

can you masterbate while talking antibiotics for chlamydia ?

Accepted Answer

Yup: Chlamydia will be taken care of not impacted by masturbation.

Question 6

can chlamydia be transferred if i masterbate with my hand and then wipe my hand off and touch a penis?

Accepted Answer

Masterbate: Not a god move at all. If you do not wish to get pregnant have your boyfriend use a protector over his penis.

Question 7

i took a 7 day course of doxycycline for chlamydia and the dates are 07/10-07/16 and masturbated with sex toy with condom 10 days after i finished treatment, could i have reinfected myself?

Accepted Answer

: No.

Question 8

i recently masturbated and when i ejaculated a girl put her mouth over the head of my penis for a few seconds, is this a risk for chlamydia or another sti?? i don't know her sexual history, was a week ago, now i feel the need to urinate more frequent?

Accepted Answer

: While it possible to transmit Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) through oral sex, it is much more likely to be transmitted by vaginal or anal intercourse. If you are concerned for STI, see your doctor and ask to get tested. Prevent STIs through safe-sex practices using condoms consistently. Thank you for using HealthTap for your health questions!

Question 9

can i masterbate while being treated for an bacterial epididymitis cause by chlamydia? ( day 6 healing is going well?

Accepted Answer

: Masturbation would not be harmful, but maybe uncomfortable or painful. Epididymitis per se isn't the problem, but your chlamydial infection could involved other areas, like your posterior (internal) urethra, prostate, or seminal vesicles. If so, ejaculation might be painful, or you might experience pain afterward. But it wouldn't delay healing or cause any serious problems.

Question 10

i contracted chlamydia, treated. one day after masturbation big glob of yellow mucus comes out and my underside of my penis was burning. tested negativ?

Accepted Answer

STD: I think you must be evalauted by a urologist or family doctor. Did you confirm the chlamydia is gone? Was your partner treated? Did you get tested for other sexually transmitted diseases?
