Can Epididymitis Cause Any Risk Doing Sex With Partner?
I was told I have epididymitis from my doctor a couple days ago and he put me on antibiotics. It is not of the STD type, Most although not all of the swelling has gone down but I am feeling good, is it ok to have sex with my wife if I use a condom? What would be her risk in this siutation? Thanks!

Hi, Thank you for querry,
if STD is suspected along with epidydimoorchitis than along with empirical antibiotics therapy aviod sex for 7 days or use condom after starting the treatment.
Partner should be reffered for evaluation and treatment to eliminate the possibility of reinfection.
Hope the answer will help you.
wish you a good health.
