A member asked:
Is it safe to have sex using condoms during treatment of epididymitis ? does sex at this stage increase the infection ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Epididymitis: The vast majority of pts with epididymitis are not capable of transmitting the infection to others sexually. A small percentage have prostatitis/urethritis caused by an std organism as the underlying infection which can descend down to the epididymis. Most of the time those men will have symptoms of std along with, or preceding the epididymal inflammation.
