Question: Hi I have had a pulling type sensation on my testicles, I went to see my GP 2 weeks ago and she sent me to hospital to get checked thoroughly, they identified it as epididymitis I took 2 weeks of antibiotics and 3 days later I am getting the sensation again. I have also had slight pain just above my testicles in my lower stomach. Please advise.

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome to HCM.

This is not unusual since epididymitis may recur and it may take few weeks to completely cure.

However, I'd suggest you to do some more tests to rule out other diseases such as STD or prostatitis or even inguinal hernia. So you should get done STD panel tests and Ultrasound of testicles and prostate for an initial evaluation in this regard.

Let me know if your having any further queries

Wish you good health. Regards
