A member asked:
Im dealing with chronic epididymitis. do you think avoiding masturbation might help the pain and swelling go away? currently not on any antibiotics since last one didnt help

Talk to your doctor.: I don't know if your epididymitis was caused by a sexually transmitted disease. But if this hasn't cleared up - I think that you need to let your doctor know. Be aware that masturbation may cause pain.
