Frequent urination due to over masturbation?

I am a 24yrs old male and  have been masturbating on avg 4 times since last 7-8 years .I started having frequent urination problem since last November.I would urinate anywhere from 10-15 times a day and this would get worse when i would try to sleep . I would urinate with decent amount of urine a  decent flow and before sleeping but i would still feel the need to urinate and would do 5-6 trips to the restroom. After falling asleep , i would get up 2-3 times to pee. I also felt everytime after masturbation , frequency will get even worse with some burning .
I reduced the frequency to avg once a day. I consulted my family practitioner in December  and i was prescribed ciprofloxacin twice a day for 10 days.She also did various STD tests , diabetes and urine test all of which came out -ve along with kidney ultrasound being normal as well .After 10 days , i felt significant improvement but not 100% . As such , i was prescribed levofloxacin for 5 days but levofloxacin seemed to aggravate the problem and i discontinued it after taking it for 2 days. I seemed to do ok for the next 2 months and kept the masturbation frequency to 4-5 times a week .However , the problem did start to creep in again as i think my prostate got irritated again even with reduced masturbation frequency.I consulted  a urologist and he did the digital rectal test and said my prostate seemed ok in size. i was prescribed cirpo again twice a day this time for 3 weeks . My problem again subsided by about 80-85% . However , if i masturbated  2-3 times in a day or masturbated once a day on consecutive days , i would again feel increased frequency and some burning. I told the uro about this correlation of my problems with masturbation but he said there should be no correlation and suggested i go for cystoscopy. I agreed to his suggestion and had cysto done after a few days.  Cystoscopy reveled everything normal other than a moderate stricture far back into the bulb for which the doctor performed dilation. I was prescribed levofloxacin for six days after cycsto. During those six days i suffered with even greater frequency and urgency and urine flow being normal every time i would pee. After stopping levofloacin, i felt my symptoms getting better but again my problem still did not subside 100% . I  kept my frequency of masturbation
3-4 times week and within 3 weeks of cysto , i again started to have frequent urination problem however this time with urine flow usually being normal every time i would pee . I was in the US till now but returned to my home country after 2 wees of having cysto and as such could not consult the same doctor.

I saw a urologist in home country and was prescribed Tamsulosin Hydrochloride  and gatifloxacin for 10 days after the doctor looked  at the report from urine culture and sensitivity test . Gatifloxacin did not help and as such doctor prescribed levofloxacin for another 10 days .None of the two antibiotics and Tamsulosin Hydrochloride did not show any signs of relief . I saw another uro after that and he prescribed moxifloxacin hydrochloride based on that urine culture test along with  tolterodine tartrate for 7 days. I have been taking em for 3 days now and do not see any relief .

I am really worried as my symptoms have only gotten worse after cystoscopy . Should i be worried that doctor did not perform cystoscopy properly and damaged my uretha or bladder? Or have i damaged my prostate with over masturbation. If yes , is there anyway to restore prostate in healthy condition ?
Also , should i try taking cipro again for 10-15 days as it took care of the symptoms at least by 80% on both occasions before cystocopy.

Please suggest what i should do and what the problem might be.

Thank you

Is this forum still active? I have almost the same situation that some of you such as seanmac1 have described, which I have been going through on and off for 35 years.  Would like to continue the discussions if there are still interested people and experts around.  Thank you.

Idk why I have to push harder to pee The same way we have to do when we pass a stool, since I started masturbating 3 to 4 times a day this thing started happening to me. Even tho it's been months I've reduced masturbating to 1 time a day and sometimes I even skip a day i always try to leave masturbation but I always end up masturbating. Still whenever I masturbate I face more difficulties to pee I need to know what exactly is happening to me. It's making me feel horrible and feel shy to visit a doctor to discuss such problem.

is masturbation the root cause ????? Have you tried ayurvedic medicines ????
As per my detection ..its nothing but plain and simple UTI ...which cannot be patholigically diagonised...Masturbation and after that rubbing your penis at inappropriate places causes this......
Try the water fast for 10 days !!! its great ...you will be completely cured... u r suffering since 7 years ...just give it a try for 10 days....its a miracle !!!!!

I am a 36 female, a couple of years ago I had tons of chronic bladder pain (all the symptoms described here) and went to see a urologist.  He wasn't confident because its most common in men but and eventually figured it was Interstitial Cystitus.  I went to a pelvic floor therapist, got Kegal weights and most importantly took coffee and other highly acidic foods out of my diet.  This helped a lot!  Recently my husband has been out of town and I've taken up masturbating again, not more than once a night but sometimes three nights in a row, etc.  I only do clitoral masturbation with a vibrator and I immediately noticed pelvic floor spasms like the ones from my IC.  So yes I think masturbation can trigger the symptoms as it can construct the pelvic floor. Interestingly I have not experienced this response with intercourse.  All of this is definitely related to a weak pelvic floor clearly.
