Internal Medicine Specialist, Dr. Ivo Ditah's Response
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this epididymitis that you have reported. I will suggest that you get re-evaluated and do a urine and semen culture to find out what the causative germ is and what antibiotic is best to treat this infection. Maybe the germ was not exactly sensitive to ciprofloxacin and did not result in a complete sterilization of the infection site. Also, how is your sexual life? If you have multiple sexual partners and do not use protection all the times, you need to start doing so.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarification if need be and I will gladly respond to.
