Painful lump in testicle with PROSTATE infection. EPIDIDYMIS?

Resolved Question:

Hello, im 26 years old patientold and i have just recently had a prostate infection, and im pretty sure it has caused epididymis, i have seen my family doctor and he put me on ciprofloxacin for the first 2 weeks then novo-trimel ds 800mg/160mg for other 2 weeks after that, i followed back up with my doctor in this past thursday and he asked how i was feeling and i told him i was feeling okay, but my testicals still feel weird here and there and that my groin area was pretty painful, also that i still have a minor lump at the top of my left testical, and he assured me that it will alll pass and to just give it some time and that i should follow up in a month or so, now my question is will these symptoms subside and pass, and how long does it usually take and also should i actually still be on antibiotics?

Hello,
Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com
Your symptoms should improve by themselves in another 2-3 weeks. However, you can start yourself on tamsulosin under the care of your doctor. It shall help in early recovery of symptoms.
There is no need to continue antibiotics any longer.
Feel free to discuss further,
Take care
Sincerely
Rajiv Goel
