2. Chronic epididymitis often evolves from untreated or poorly managed acute epididymitis. If the initial condition persists for more than three months, it can become chronic, causing recurrent episodes that significantly impact men's reproductive health.

3. When suffering from chronic epididymitis, patients may experience pain or discomfort in the testicular area, with pain intensifying during standing or walking and easing with rest.

4. Masturbation and Chronic Epididymitis Masturbation involves self-stimulation for sexual pleasure. Generally, moderate masturbation does not significantly impact health. However, for chronic epididymitis patients, the already inflamed, congested, and edematous epididymis becomes fragile.

5. Engaging in masturbation during this time can increase the strain on the epididymis, exacerbating inflammation, swelling, and pain. This can hinder recovery and potentially cause further damage. For instance, a patient named Thomas, unaware of the risks, continued to masturbate during his condition, resulting in severe worsening of his symptoms, increased swelling, and extended recovery time. His experience underscores the importance of following medical advice.

6. Risks of Masturbation with Chronic Epididymitis Masturbation can cause congestion and contraction of the prostate and seminal vesicles, potentially leading to complications such as prostatitis and seminal vesiculitis. Excessive masturbation can also lower the body’s immunity, adversely affecting the treatment and recovery of chronic epididymitis.

7. The physical stimulation and contraction during masturbation increase pressure within the epididymis, affecting blood circulation and lymphatic drainage. Poor circulation and lymphatic return can delay the subsidence of inflammation and may even lead to new infections.
Additionally, frequent masturbation can impair the body's immune response, making chronic epididymitis harder to cure and prolonging the disease course.

It is also advisable to avoid sexual intercourse until full recovery. Even post-recovery, patients should moderate their sexual activities to prevent recurrence. Avoiding the habit of holding in urine can also reduce the disease's recurrence rate.
