Brief Answer:
Have you had urine or swab cultures?
Detailed Answer:
Hi Bmxquantum,
Epididymitis and urethritis sounds like an STD to me. Have you had urine and urethral swabs sends for culture? This will allow a more targeted approach aimed at the specific bacteria. Where I am from, we would treat epididymitis with ciprofloxacin, typically for a few weeks.
Also, have you had an ultrasound?
Looking forward to hearing from you again.
