Specializes in Pediatrics

No problem with interaction of antibiotics and masturbation, but the masturbation may irritate your urethra (tube that drains urine), so you may want to wait till your infection is treated, so there's no confusion if pain occurs as to whether it's from the infection or masturbation.
