Is It Safe To Masturbate While Having Epididymitis?
Went to the doctor and they suspected epididymitis so I ve been put on antibiotics for 10 days. Being only 10 days I assumed its not to serious a case, but I have still refrained from sex or masturbation for fear of slowing the healing process. Is it actually ok to ejaculate or should I avoid it?

Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.
epididymis is a mild inflammatory condition and antibiotics for ten days will treat it. Masturbation can get uncomfortable and cause slight pai. after another week you can do it. please take rest and allow healing to take place. wear loose inner clothes to decrease pain. sex also may be done after another week. this will allow the epididymitis to get healed.
