What Causes Abdominal Infections After Taking BCG Vaccine?
Since having BCG treatment I have had recurring infections, the last one being treated with IV because I had pus in my abdomen. I have also had severe fatigue . I have also had severe pain in the groin area after sexual intercourse. Now, one testicle is smaller and slightly harder than the other. My doctor has advised that if the infections keep recurring I might need to have my testicle removed. Is that really necessary and how does that keep the infection from returning.?

hello,steroid dose we give in pneumonia is to suppress the inflammation and to reduce the oedema. It is a low dose of steroids in a short period of time. It is not usually enough to lower the immunity.
