Can you have sexual life if the lump of chronic orchitis hasn't disappeared?

Patient's question:

My friend has chronic orchitis (there is a lump in the testicle and he has been taking medication for almost two months, but the lump has not disappeared).
Please ask:
1. Can he have sexual life if the lump has not disappeared?
2. It has taken so long for the lump to only shrink by one-third—is this a problem?
Thanks!

Doctor's answer:

Consider it may be caused by inflammation. You can take Levofloxacin and Metronidazole for treatment. Pay attention to drinking more water. If necessary, go to the hospital for further examination and treatment. I believe everyone knows that orchitis can cause significant harm to patients, so it's important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, pay attention to dietary issues, and maintain a light diet, avoiding irritating foods. Additionally, regular follow-up visits can be scheduled when necessary.
