What Is Epididymitis?
10. Is Epididymitis Preventable?
Most cases of epididymitis are preventable. Sexually active males should always wear a condom and talk with their partners about the possible existence of STIs. Males should also avoid heavy lifting that may cause trauma to the epididymis, as well as avoid long periods of sitting.
If a male has a history of reoccurring urinary tract infections or lives with other risk factors of epididymitis, he should discuss with his doctor lifestyle changes he can make to reduce his risk of developing the condition.
