Is Masturbation Necessary To Treat Epididymitis?
My doctor that is treating my condition (Epidiymitis) TOLD me to masturbate. I would prefer not to. From everything I've read about my condition (Epididymitis) masturbation only aggrevates my condition. What should I do, should I report him to the Board of Urologists? What can I do? I am 52 years old, 5'8",170 lbs, Single, I am not sexually active. I have been deemed medically disabled because of my bad back (2 bad discs), bi-lateral carpal tunnel syndrome, recurring ankle inflammation, and bi-polar disorder.
