Patient's question:
It has been more than two months since I haven't met my girlfriend, but finally we both have time to meet up. However, I have been taking medication and undergoing treatment for testicular inflammation recently. I really want to have sex with my girlfriend. Can I have sex with epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, epididymitis is usually acute, and during the acute phase, sexual activity should not be engaged in, as it can worsen the condition. Additionally, during sexual activity, cross pain may reappear, which can also affect sexual function. For chronic epididymitis, sexual activity is permissible, but protective measures must be taken during intercourse to prevent reinfection. Wishing you good health.
