Patient's question:
Hello, I have testicular pain and a feeling of heaviness. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said I have epididymitis. Can I have sexual intercourse with this condition?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis can be engaged in sexual activity. Clinically, epididymitis is divided into acute epididymitis and chronic epididymitis. This condition is often secondary to posterior urethritis, prostatitis, or seminal vesiculitis. It is recommended that you follow medical advice and seek timely treatment. With proper and timely treatment, it can be cured. First, the underlying cause must be completely eliminated. Antibacterial medications should be used, and local cold compresses or physical therapy can also be applied to promote inflammation reduction. For recurrent chronic epididymitis, epididymectomy or vasectomy may be considered. The condition of epididymitis is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, male patients should immediately go to a professional and reputable hospital for diagnosis. Treatment should be considered based on the results of the examination. Proper diet should be maintained, and sexual activity should be avoided. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
