How does masturbation cause urinary tract infections?

Patient's question:

Doctor, recently I've been experiencing frequent urination, urgency, and pain during urination. I'm worried I might have contracted something. What could be the cause? Is it related to my sexual activity? I usually have sexual intercourse about a few times a week on average. Could this lead to perinatal and urinary tract infections?

Doctor's answer:

For patients with chronic sexual activity who experience the aforementioned symptoms again, the most common cause is prostatitis. Of course, urinary tract infection cannot be completely ruled out. It is recommended that you undergo timely tests such as urinalysis, magnetic resonance imaging of the urinary system, and prostatic fluid examination to clarify the condition. After confirmation, follow a standardized treatment plan. Long-term sexual activity can significantly interfere with your physical and mental health, making it a common cause of sexual dysfunction. It is necessary to abstain promptly and readjust your mindset. Practice patience and exercise, and drink more water.
