How long after acute orchitis can one resume sexual intercourse?

Patient's question:

Last two months, I got acute epididymitis and went to the hospital for about a month of treatment. Now I'm almost fully recovered. Since I got married not long ago and then contracted this disease, I want to ask how long after acute epididymitis is healed can I have sexual intercourse?

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended to fully recover for one month before resuming sexual activity, as poor hygiene during sexual activity could very likely lead to a recurrence of the condition. Patients must pay close attention to post-surgical care and avoid prolonged standing or sitting to prevent impaired local blood circulation, which could result in a recurrence of the condition. Dietary habits also need to be mindful.
