A member asked:

I was diagnosed with epididymitis 3 days ago. its hard for me to get an erection. will i be back to normal after medication?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Epididymitis: The epididymus doesn't like to be messed with. Once the inflammation has subsided, erections should return to normal. A urologist is best qualified to advise you however.
