Can Masturbation Cause Recurring Gonorrhea Infection?

Hi good day doctors, I have something to ask, im sexually active guy, i ve been infected with gonorrhea before, I took antibiotic (amoxiclav) after 3 to 4 days of using I felt cured so I stop the medication. After few years ive been infected again, just like at first I took 3 to 4 days of medication, and I got cured. Its just I wonder why is it sometimes when I masterbate too much the morning after the day I masterbated too much, my penis sometimes release green discharge or should I say pus that s a sign of gonorrhea infection. But it s not like on gonorrhea infection. That pus stop without medication unlike when i m infected with gonorrhea. Does masterbation can cause my gonorrhea infection back?

Hello sir and welcome.

It is clear that you have decided to treat yourself as per your own terms and thus possibly have a latent or continuing infection. Please do not make alterations to any treatment regimen prescribed. There is a reason why the course is that long. Just dissappearance of the symptoms does not mean you are cured. You need to go about the complete course.

I am not sure whether or not you were prescribed medications the second time, or you just chose to take the same ones yourself. Please visit a doctor and stop making decisions on the treatment regimen, leave that to a doctor who has studied for at least half a decade to understand how to do that precisely.

Best wishes.
