I'm really confused about my recent urine test results. It seems like every time I get tested, the RBC count comes back as 23 HPF with a weak reaction. I also had a KUB CT Scan and Ultra sound, plus urine Cytology and a PSA Blood test, and all those were normal. Out of 67 urine routine tests, two of them showed 56 RBC. The CT scan did show a 2mm renal calculus below my left kidney. Since everything else is normal, I'm having trouble understanding why there's still blood in my urine. Is this something I should be worried about, and do you think getting a Cystoscopy is necessary to figure out what's going on?

Masturbation is a natural and common activity, and as long as it's not interfering with your daily life or relationships, it shouldn't negatively impact your sexual health or future marriage. If you're concerned, it's always good to talk to a healthcare provider for personalized guidance.
