I have Epididymitis, is it safe to have s*x?

Question

I was diagnosed with epididymitis (the non STD form) last Sunday.

I don't have any pain or discharge.

Is it safe to have s*x?

Answer 1

I wouldn't try it. Unless you plan on NOT ejaculating.  

Answer 2

When I had Epididymitus (the non STD form), I was told to take my antibiotics and lay down to reduce gravity effects.  Since the epididym is inflamed, s*x is probably not a good idea and wouldn't be all the comfortable.  I was running a temp and felt like h**l until the antibiotics kicked in anyway.

Answer 3

After reading this and the link I am providing you may not want to engage in s*x.  If you do, please use a barrier.  Such as a Condom.

Complications from epididymitis may be prevented by early diagnosis and adequate treatment (plus reporting if applicable) of the infectious diseases associated with it. Prophylactic (preventive course) antibiotics are frequently given at the time of surgeries in which the patient is at increased risk for epididymitis. Safer sexual practices (monogamous relationships, use of barriers such as condoms and similar practices) may be helpful in preventing those cases of epididymitis associated with sexually-transmitted diseases.
