After having testicle pain (more in the right, but also in the left) for about a month I finally went to a urologist (i went to a generalist before and he said it was just some growing pain thing and would go away... I'm 17). He diagnosed me with epididymitis but did not prescribe any antibiotics. He just said take ibuprofen and hope it goes away. He seemed to think it could be chronic (he said it might stay, or go, he really had no idea).

Anyways, several questions. If it *is* chronic is there any way to make it go away? I've had it for about 3 months now. It's really distracting and annoying. Not incredibly painful but certainly irritating. It often hurts for me to do simple things like walking and sitting.

Also, is there danger that it could cause infertility/damage to testicles?
