Suggest Treatment For Epididymitis

I have had Epididymitis for six weeks, three rounds of antibiotics, only hurts on the left side, swelling. I wasn't told not to have sex. I am 57 and have no clue how I got this. I have been riding bikes hard for 11 years a couple of hours at a time and have never had any problems with my balls hurting, even riding 5 hours. I have had everything but a blood test. Three urine test the Urologist said were clear. Another urologist said i should have it removed. The other said that would be the last resort....I want this over. Please help

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

As per your history, it may be due epidydamitis.

For further assessment you may require complete hemogram and urine analysis and ultrasound scrotum.

You may require broad spectrum antibiotics like cefixime after physician consultation.

For pain you can take tablet acetaminophen. Use scrotum support.

Avoid strenuous activity.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale, General & Family Physician
