Can A Lot Of Masturbation Cause Epididymitis?

Can a lot of masturbation cause epididymitis? I have masturbated much more than usual for the last week (2-3 times per day) Can you get bacterial epididymitis when you have had a vasectomy? I am 42, 190 pounds, 5 ft 11, Waist 34 inches. I went to get checked today for pain in groin/testicle. Doctor suspects epididymitis. He ordered ultrasound and tests and prescribed anitbiotic. I did see a stripper recently who touched my penis with her bare hand. But, I did not think contact like that could give me an STD like gono or chly. Thoughts?

Urologist 's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i must assure you, masturbation doesn't cause epididymitis.
Masturbating 2-3 times daily, doesn't cause epididymitis. Neither does a vasectomy cause an infective epididymitis.
An ultrasound scan,will clearly show thge changes of epididymitis, and if the testis is affected in any way.
Just by skin contact of your penis, you're unlikely to contract a STD.
Blood tests, like VDRL,HbsAg,HIV, will confirm if you've STD.
If the pain is severe, you can take analgesic, anti-inflammatory tablets, like
Chymotrypsin, twice daily.If you've any doubts,you can contact me.
