Is it okay to have sexual intercourse if epididymitis is no longer painful?

Patient's question:

Hello everyone, I recently suffered from epididymitis and after taking medication for treatment, the pain has now subsided. I would like to consult with some friends who are knowledgeable in the medical field: is it okay to have sexual intercourse now that the epididymitis is no longer painful? I really look forward to getting a correct answer from you all, and I am grateful for your help here.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on your description, it seems you suffered from epididymitis a few weeks ago, and now the pain has subsided after medication. In this case, it is recommended that you visit the urology department for a follow-up check-up. Undergo specific and thorough examinations to determine if you have fully recovered, and then resume sexual activity. To prevent the disease from not being fully recovered if you have sex, it can easily cause local congestion and affect the complete recovery.
