    Whether you can have sex with epididymitis depends on the severity of the condition.

    Epididymitis is a relatively common male disease. It may be caused by chronic inflammation and bacterial infection due to low autoimmunity. Pain and swelling in the epididymis may occur. Sexual intercourse is allowed during the period when the condition is stable. Condoms must be worn during sexual intercourse to reduce cross-infection. Men who have epididymitis generally cannot have sex during an acute attack, as it may cause irritation to the epididymis and worsen the condition.

    Epididymitis is best treated by taking cefixime tablets, amoxicillin capsules, levofloxacin hydrochloride capsules and other drugs under the guidance of a doctor.
