A member asked:

Is mastebation safe during epididymis? i have had anti inflammatory medicine and antibiotic (3 doses) and don't have any pain now.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Safety?: YES; however I suggest giving it a full week after finishing your therapy. Masturbation can increase epididymal tenderness if the infection is not complexly cured- it sounds like you are just about ready.
