When a man has inflammation of the testicles, sexual activity is not recommended to avoid worsening the inflammation or causing discomfort. Testicular inflammation may be caused by bacteria, viruses, or other pathogens and requires timely medical evaluation and treatment. During treatment, patients should keep the affected area clean and dry, avoid excessive fatigue and strenuous exercise, and take prescribed medications as directed to relieve symptoms. Sexual activity should only be gradually resumed after the inflammation has completely subsided and with approval from a physician. To ensure proper recovery, patients should also attend regular follow-up appointments to promptly identify and address any potential complications.
