<s>[INST] hello, I have not been sexually active for months and I have been recently masturbating at least every day for the past 2 weeks. Today I noticed painful urination and some blood in my urine. Is masturbation related? I am also in another country and the food is different from that in the U.S. [/INST] Hello and welcome to health care magic. Pain during urination and Hematuria are signs of urinary tract infections and not due to Masturbation. My advice is to visit a Urologist /Physician and let him test your urine and blood. He will give you antibiotics like Norfloxacin for 5 days and bladder muscle relaxants like flavoxate to reduce the pain. Make sure to drink at least 2 litres of water per day. And this UTI is not food related. Hope this discussion will be helpful to you. Thank you. </s>
