Hello and welcome to HCM,
Masturbation can aggravate the infection and prolong the time required for the infection to be controlledact
Masturbation cannot directly cause inflammation of the epididymus but can cause urinary tract infection which is closely related to the genital tract.
Thus, avoid masturbation for some time till the antibiotic course continues.
Thanks and take care
