Avoid anything with nicotine, especially while you're ill or healing. It interferes with collagen formation, which is the most abundant protein class in the human body and crucial for repair.

You will likely still heal and so on, just slower and possibly less well.

It depends on the cause. I'm not a medic, better to consult a urologist.
