Epididymitis and tender testicle after antibiotics Posted: 01-14-08 15:33pm
I%u2019m on a course of Ciprofloxacin for
a urinary tract infection. It%u2019s
currently been eight days and the original
symptoms seem to be gone, but on the fifth
day I got an ache above my right testicle.
The testicle itself has become tender and
mildly painful to touch. There is also a
hot sensation in the scrotum. From what I
read so far, I assume its Epididymitis.
Is it normal for Epididymitis or whatever
this may be to set in after being on a
course of antibiotics for several days?
The infection wasn%u2019t STI related if
that makes a difference to the diagnosis.
I%u2019ve got enough antibiotics for
another two days and I%u2019m scheduled
for an appointment with my doctor on
Friday. Should I go to him sooner? The
pain hasn%u2019t got worse over the days
I've had it, but it hasn%u2019t gone away
either so I don%u2019t know what to do.
