epididymitis caused by chlymidia ? Posted: 01-04-08 11:49am
I got back from my Dr. and found the ache
in my testicle is from epididymitis. He
gave me an antibiotic to clear it up and
said it was due to a bacteria. I checked
online and saw that one cause could be
chlamydia. The only time I could have
been exposed was about a month ago. What
are the odds that I need to have a talk
with my wife?

hey there - I just got diagnosed with the
same...
I had a complete STD check up as part of
my examination into the testicle pain, and
I was clean, suggesting I didnt get my
epididymitis from chlymidia
my doc saysthere are toms of reasons you
get epididymitis, STD is one of many...
what I am confused about is if it can
CAUSE chlymidia... while I dont have it, I
dont want my partner getting it as a
result of the bacteria in my epididymis
(tube to the testicle).
I guess the easiest thing for you to do is
have yourslf checked for STDs, rather than
getting in trouble with the missus - but I
will be interested in what the docs on
this forum have to say!
