Suggest Treatment For Constipation And Hydrocele
I recently went to the emergency room after being diagnosed with epididmytus. They did a ultra sound and found a hydrocele. I am on doxycycline. A couple minutes ago I had a shooting pain where the pain was when I went to the hospital. I am also constipated. Any advice?

Hello
You are rightly advised to take antibiotics. Epididymitis is infection of epididymis.
Due to this infection,epididymis get enlarged and its vascularity is increased.It can be diagnosed by clinical examination and colour doppler of testis.
Hydrocele may be reactionary to infection.Small amount may be absorbed after some time.You need follow up USG.
For constipation,you should take plenty of fibres in your diet.Drink plenty of fluids.
Get well soon.
Take Care
