I have been taking Cetirizine daily for chronic urticaria for over a year. Is there a long-term treatment or alternative medication that can cure urticaria permanently so I can stop taking daily medication, and is there any link between masturbation and chronic urticaria?
Chronic urticaria often resolves on its own over time, but there is no instant permanent cure. Cetirizine is safe for long-term use. If you wish to stop daily pills, alternative options include other antihistamines (like fexofenadine), montelukast, or advanced targeted therapies like omalizumab, which can put hives into long-term remission. Please consult an allergist to safely discuss these options. Regarding your other concern, there is absolutely no scientific link between masturbation and chronic urticaria. Masturbation does not cause, trigger, or worsen hives, so you can be completely reassured.
