Masturbation while taking Metronidazole gel

For starters, I am 24 weeks pregnant. When I went for my check up, my OB/GYN told me that I had a vaginal infection. She prescribed me the Metronidazole vaginal gel to take for 5 days followed by a single dose of Fluconazole. My concern is about the "no sex" orders. I'm pregnant so my sex drive is out of this world. I understand that my boyfriend and I can't be intimate until the treatment is complete, but what about masturbation? Can I still masturbate to get me through until I'm finished?

Hi there and welcome.  Yes, you can do that.  make sure you always follow a doctor's advice, however, and if they say no sex, don't be tempted.  You can last 5 days sweetie!!  Ha, I got put on bed rest for a period of time and that was off limits.  You do what you have to do!  peace, luck and happy baby!
