What should I do if masturbation causes orchitis?

Patient's question:

Recently, I had frequent episodes of мастурбации, and my testicles felt a bit painful, sometimes swollen. After taking anti-inflammatory medication, the symptoms improved significantly, but it didn't completely cure the issue. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Excessive sexual activity can easily lead to prostatitis. During ejaculation, the prostate ducts contract intensely, causing a sharp pain in the testicles, which is likely due to prostatitis. Treatment should include reducing sexual activity, applying cold compresses, and taking many medications for prostatitis. It is not enough to just take anti-inflammatory drugs. For patients with orchitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it can affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication according to their symptoms and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
