I have been diagnosed with epididymitis and taken 4 weeks of antibiotics,the pains going, but occasional swelling still remains will this eventually disappear, I am also working out but it hasn t affected me and I m making sure I go to the toilet when working out to urinate. No other symptoms such as fever and chills when I was on antibiotics just occasion groin pain. Please could you tell me how long it will take to completely clear I am using an ice pack to reduce the swelling its working very effectively I haven t needed any ibuprofen for a week. Thanks
Hi...the swelling will reduce in a week or so...dont worry about that...its just a reactionary fluid...do wear a proper scrotal support esp during workouts... it will take care of the rest...ice packs may not be necessary now...
