Question : I have had epiademamitis, and after two rounds of antibiotics I still have a slight pain in the penis and testies. Could it be prostatis

Brief Answer:
No worries, will resolve

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and i understand your concern. Epididymitis despite being treated with antibiotics, may take some time for the pain to go away completely. EPididymitis some time involve prostate but the treatment is just the same so even if it was prostatitis along with epididymitis the antibiotics had already covered it. So no worries.

Right now all you need is modify coital and toilet habits, maintain a good hygiene, and more importantly wear a scrotal support like an underwear. Take some advil or tylenol for the pain . It will subside on its own.

I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and don't forget to close the discussion please.

More antibiotics wouldn't help then. Also is there any vitamins that I could take to help out. Also this has been going off an on for a year.

Thank you for getting back to me

Two weeks of antibiotics is enough. Just do as directed for the precautionary measures. Using athletic supporter in guise of underwear would help. Rest. lie down. avoid from masturbation or sex completely till full recovery. Apply some cold packs over testicles for relief. You can take any vitamin supplements , A to zinc complexes are better. If this etiology is on and off for year your doctor should rule out the cause or risk factor for recurrent infections or alternate diagnosis.

I hope it helps.

I have had it three times in the last three years. Seems to be better bust still some pain in testical, and penis every once in a while. Is there any other problems that it could be? Don't have any blood in seamen or urine don't hurt having sex which I guess I should be doing.

Brief Answer:
Hygiene and coital habits

Detailed Answer:
With no blood in urine, no pain in coitus, its likely a sequelae of hygiene issues and tto much coitus or masturbation. Avoid masturbation as mentioned earlier and reduce coital frequency. Hygiene maintenance is the key. Adapting good toilet and coital habits will get you out of this mess.

I hope it helps.
