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

Hey  purr and all,
So I did my urodynamic study, not a fun experience.  It was pretty painful and obviously very invasive tubes sent into both holes.  The one in the butt was nothing compared to the one in the penis.  So anyways, the Dr said I have a very weak bladder, I'm guessing that is OAB?  Since I haven't responded well to all the initial treatments he is sending me for ptns.  Its a stimulation of a nerve in the ankle for Half an hour, once a week, for 12 weeks.  I start that Dec 1.  On a good side of things, I'm learning to manage the constant urge better.  Its just a mind over matter type thing.

awww...glad you find me kind! ;)  This article is from my endometriosis group...but chronic pain is chronic pain so I am sharing it so you can understand what it can do to us and maybe share with your urologist and if the Dr. isn't receptive to learn from you...find a new Dr. I don't think the masturbation is the "cause" per say but it might be triggering it...as well as about a million other things...

I understand how hard and frustrating  this is and the desire to give up...but don't! YOU are worth fighting for your wellness! Keep going!

Let me know how your tests turn out!

I actually should have known you were female by how kind you are, guys usually aren't that thoughtfully.  So I went to that new urologists, he reviewed my records and has order a urodynamic study, and a sonogram on my kidneys.  I mentioned both the pevlic floor tension and the possibility of long sessions of masturbation causing this.  He said that it probably didn't.  I still think it has something to do with it.  So after these tests we will see what he has to say.  I'm hoping after I jump through all these hoops either we find out what's wrong, or he refers me to a pelvic floor therapist.  Still having good and bad days, that's been my life for the past 2 years.  I gotta keep telling myself that its something I can deal with, otherwise thinking about it only makes it worse and my mood worse.

lol...funny that you didn't realize I was a woman...but hey we all have pelvic floors right? ;)
Hope your appointment went well and you got some answers! I was supposed to go have botox put in my pelvic floor muscles but have a pretty strong feeling after starving all day they will be cancelling me since it's already 5p and I don't have a time...
we just have to keep moving forward! No matter what! It's not right for us to have to live in pain! xx

First, I didn't realize you were a woman, but that's neither here nor there.  I looked into a second opinion out of the advice of my regular doctor.  This urologist is part of a medical team at Robert Wood Johnson, a hospital in NJ, which apparently has a specialized department based on pelvic floor muscle tension.  So I'm going to ask him if he thinks it could be pelvic floor related.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed.  I really hope that I'm finally heading down the right path here.  I am going to to see him tomorrow.  I will post how it goes.
