epididymitis

by dennis925, Feb 19, 2008 01:16AM
Hi doctor,
I got epididymitis last month, then the doctor give me Doxycycline.
last week i go to check again and seem the virus is gone.
But my right side still found a lump.
Will the lump go away later? or it will stay with me forever?
And is it mean my right side is not function anymore(nfertility) because of the lump?

I got no answers for you, sorry about that, but I do have a couple of questions.

How was your epididymis diagnosed, and how long a course of antibiotics did you take, how many days and milligrams etc.?

I'd appreciate it if you could answer these questions.
I hope your lump will go away. I also doubt that infertility is an issue, since you were treated properly. Take care.

Thanks for your answer.
I got yellow semen first in around late Dec.
Then I discovered a lump is appear on my right testicle on jan 15.
On Jan 16, My right testicle increase twices size as normal and feel pain.
Because I have vacation in Hong Kong at that time, so i went to see a doctor.
The doctor said this is epididymis, then he gave me zithromax 250mg and monocyline 50mg for two week.
On feb 7, i came back to U.S and I go to the city clinic.
The doctor give me doxycycline 100mg (2 per day) for two week. And they check all my std test is negative.
Right now, I feel better, but my right side still have a small lump.
