Brief Answer:
abstinence is wise

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and I understand your concern. Epididymitis is a painful condition and Masturbation like activity would be putting too much friction and thus exacerbating the condition. I would suggest avoiding it in first place till full recovery.

I hope it helps . Take good care of yourself and don't forget to close the discussion please.
