A member asked:

I have been diagnosed with yeast infection-candida. sex is out of question, but will masturbation make me worst?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Self sex can take many forms. If the activity does not involve surfaces that are inflamed by the yeast, it should not be a problem.
