Suggest Treatment For Epididymitis Despite Medication
I have had testicular pain for a few months been on 2 courses of antibiotics one of which was trimethoprim which was for 10 days. My doctor thinks that I have epididymitis but the antibiotics has not got rid of the pain. I have also have some pain down the front and back of my thigh from time to time. Ialso had a clear testicular ultrasound. Do you think that this is epididymitis?
