Masturbation during Epididymo orchitis
I currently had epididymo orchitis with Hypercele for almost six weeks - things seem to be returning to normal very slowly, the swelling in my left testicle is reducing but still roughly the size of a baseball.
I don't have any pain in the testicle and am wondering if it safe to masturbate... will ejaculation be painful or cause an issue?
Thanks for any guidance

Just spoken with a Nurse at my private health insurance BUPA (UK)
She says masturbation should not be harmful and to be 'guided by the pain' i.e. if it is sore to the touch then probably not wise but if not in pain then should be okay - just check semen for signs of blood. Otherwise any semen that is not ejaculated will simply be absorbed back into the body. She says it should be okay but I'll probably give it a little bit longer

Okay - based on what the nurse said... I did two things this morning.
I read somewhere that maybe warm baths helped, I had refrained from using my hot tub these past seven weeks, but decided to try this morning and it was fine, and comfortable. So after loosening everything up with the warm tub, I had my first masturbation for two months... everything was fine. Erection was good and ejaculation good, not overly powerful, but not weak either.
Reasonable amount of sperm, slightly different consistency but no sign of blood.
Ejaculation was not painful and as yet, a couple of hours since, everything seems okay.
Left testicle at this point is still the size of a peach.
I guess everyone just needs to suss out their own feelings and needs and make a risk based call on it... I just felt it seemed right to try tis morning ad so far it has been okay.
