: You can resume sexual activity if you are now asymptomatic. Take care.

Thank

Orchitis is a rare condition- epididymitis is more common- so I doubt if you have orchitis. Neither is related to masturbation. If you have pain/swelling/lump in your testicle pl see a Urologist. You can resume sexual activity
