Does masturbation cause utis in men?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Sexual activity is often the cause of a urinary tract infection in women because of the anatomy, including the shorter urethra. If you do have a urinary tract infection and you're a guy, you need to seek the cause with your physician's guidance -- even one real UTI in a guy is a heads-up of an underlying problem. And eating hot peppers can mimic a uti.
