Have Swelling After The Treatment For Epidydimo Orchitis. Safe Time To Masturbate?

i have just been discharged from hospital (2days ago) after being treated with epidydimo- orchitis - i still have a lot of swelling and pain and understand this will reduce over the next week or so - there is obviously a lot of infected fluid/ sperm in there. My question is when that area is less painful should i try masturbate to 1/ relive pressure 2/ remove some of the infected fluids or should i avoid this completely in case it causes any complications Thanks

Hi thanks for your question.
You had epididmo orchitis.for which you are still under treatment.I would suggest you to avoid masturbation till you completly recover from infection,which means,no swelling,no pain.
Taking out seminal fluid will not help in treatment of epididmo orchitis,infact it can aggrevate it.
Hope this answers your question.
I find this answer helpful
