Hi i am 22 years old. I have been
diagnosed with epididymtis. I have visted
two doctors about it they claim it just
takes time for it to heal. I have been on
2 different antibiotics bactrum and cipro
(sorry cannot spell it) both prescribed
from these doctors. I have had this
problem going on 2 months now. THe
symptoms arent as bad as they were when
they first occured. I was on vacation when
they first occured... :\. It seems the
antibiotics didnt help with the condition.
My symptoms are:
Testicular redness (happends randomly not
constant. when im working a lot or on my
feet a lot it usually instigates it)
Slight testicular burning sensation like
pain. (Not constant happends randomly and
sometimes when im on my feet for about 3
hours)
Anal Itching (not constant)
Itching on the head of the penis (recently
this past weekend it swelled and it was
really infected but the infection went
down but it still will slightly itch
occasionaly and it still shows a slight
redness but is getting better. the itching
isnt constant)
Now my question is... is this epdidmytis?
or could it be an allergic reaction to
something? I have tried changing washing
detergeant, using a new body wash, i have
experimented with different underwears
including briefs.
I also had a blood test (viral/bacterial
test) done 2 weeks ago for my ent.
Everything looks normal. I havent been
sexually active either so it cant be an
STD. Any opinions would help.
