Can you have sexual intercourse when you have orchitis?

Sexual activity is not recommended when suffering from orchitis. Orchitis is an inflammatory condition of the testicles that can cause symptoms such as testicular pain and swelling, and in severe cases, may affect fertility. During the illness, sexual activity may exacerbate symptoms and hinder recovery. Additionally, the pathogens causing orchitis may be transmitted through sexual contact, potentially posing health risks to partners. Therefore, for the sake of both personal and partner's health, it is advisable to avoid sexual activity during treatment for orchitis and to follow the doctor's recommendations for treatment and recovery. Resuming sexual activity should be done gradually only after the condition has stabilized and with the doctor's approval.
