Disease detail: What can be done about Epididymitis caused by Prostatitis?
I am a 26 year old male, and for the last 18 months I've had pain in my testicle (usually the right one) accompanniedby short-term swelling in my epididymis, and some urine pain every 6 weeks or so. The major pain only lasts maybe an hour or so, and then for another day or two it might be sensitive. Sometimes it is worse than others. I should point out that I probably urinate more than most people, even when I'm feeling fine. And again, sometimes more than other times. BUT- its not like I feel I need to go, and not much comes out. I pee when my bladder is full.
I've seen a few doctors, and most didn't seem overly concerned about whatever it was, and the last Dr. believed that I had Prostatitis that was triggering flare-ups of Epididymitis every once in a while. He seemed to make the most sense and the symptoms are pretty dead- on.
He recommended I try antibiotics for 6 weeks, but it sounds like my symptoms could/would probably come back anyway.
Is there anything that I can do?
