A member asked:
What are the reasons for epydidymitis swelling? does ejaculation worsen it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Epydidymitis: This is an infection. It may be caused by irritation or minor trauma to the scrotum. It rarely is an extension of a problem in the prostate. Ejaculation will not make it worse.
