Does epididymitis ever go away?

Hey guys. Just wanted to say that i have been following this a long time and after three years i found my reason for pain. The doctors couldnt figure out my testicle pain because it radiated from my hip. It might be your reason as well. Ask for a MRI of your hip looking for hip dysplasia, and also of the spine in case of some plates causing nerve damage. Good luck to all my testicle brothers.

I have had epididymitis since the start of September this year. It started with urethritis GUM clinic detected an infection but couldn’t pin point it to anything specific so said could be from strain or cycling of which I do long distances.
I tested for 10 STD infections but came back negative for all so the gum clinic washed their hands of me.
Started with 7 days doxy which took urethritis away but testicle pain in right side remained then had 10 days of oflaxacin which did actually get rid of testicle pain for about 3 weeks before it came back with a vengeance!
The doctor has given me another 7 days of doxycycline but I’m very skeptical!
I’m now experiencing pain a lot as I have a desk job but does seem to be less painful when lying down.
Have purchased the sovereign silver as suggested so will try that and report back!

Everyone, please make sure you stop masterbating. This is what is causing it to come back. Do not masturbate for at least 3 to 6 months. Make sure you do this. Try all the treatments and exercise, raw garlic will help to. Just eat it raw with some food everyday.

i tried a bunch of stuff, nothing was working. i took 2 aspirins before bed for a few days and it went away 100% and have never had another flare up since. i took antibiotics for 17 days that didn't do anything and took motrin which mildly helped. seriously not joking, about 3 or 4 days of 2 regular strength aspirins and BAM its fully gone and hasn't returned whatsoever!

Daniel, I hope you feel better now after all these years. If you do and read all the replies you have received please return to us with your experience how you finally got it solved for you.

I am 25 and have been suffering from epididymitis along with mild hydrocele and mild varicocele in my left testies since october of 2017. I am feeling huge pain whole day in the back of my testies and also in the back of my body. I have visited many doctors and all of them said that there is nothing to worry and gave some antibiotics but the problem is still there.

Now i m feeling very much worried. The pain may be stay with me for forever. Is there any way of getting fully normal again!!!

I went through the same exact thing for over a year. Took 4 different rounds of anti biotics that the urologist prescribed even after that kept testing and it was showing there was no bacteria infection. That down there also got worse for me when laying down. If searching and searching for answers I finally went to a physical therapist who specialized in pelvic pain. Come to find out my hips were rotated. I’m now free of the pain 90 percent of the time. I highly suggest you seek out a physical therapist also who specializes in pelvic pain. I was sooo depressed prior to getting treatment from them. The urologist had me feeling very helpless. Hope you find some relief.

Never replied to one of these before, and created an account today just to do so. I was diagnosed with epididymitis about two months ago and had gone through rounds of doxycycline (2weeks) ciproflaxin (28 Days) and Z pack (1 time dose of 1gram). Experiencing no relief and excruciating pain in one testicle (which moved from the left to right varying on the day).

I went to GNC and purchased colloidal silver 30ppm and drank 2 teaspoons a day for 10-15 days. Amazing how the pain/swelling dies down. I would have never heard of colloidal silver had it not been for this page. Still awaiting a check up from my primary doctor in a few days, but so far this is the best I’ve felt in months.Appreciate all the posts, I honestly thought I’d have this pain forever. If you’re experiencing epididymitis, I highly suggest colloidal silver.

Hi everyone! I have amazing news for you all. I thought I had epididymitis but as may be the case for you it Actually was chronic muscle spasm due to anxiety. Look up the Dr. Wise- Anderson Protocol for relaxation of these pelvic floor muscles. You may be confusing epididymitis for pelvic floor spasms!

Went to doctor and all checked out fine. No std. nothing. I had treatments that helped but always came back for years. I finally had enough and went to the doctor and told them I had tested positive for gonerrea and I needed treatment. I have been fine ever since. I believe it is an unknown bacteria because I am cured finally for 6 months now. Good luck

it will go with time and proper treatment and lifestyle, i have epididymitis for 6 weeks and still counting but now it's easing up because of the proper lifestyle, i mean u can't expect that u will recover properly if u don't eat well, i recommend u to eat garlic cuz it's kinda a natural antibiotic and make u feel a lot better and some walks in street, park... whatever the places u like walking.

When I first got epydidimitis the doctor gave me Cypro. I can't remember the full name or dosage but it was the Cypro Antibiotic and it got rid of my Epydidimitis after a month or two of taking it. It stayed away for over 2 years and now is back but that's probably because my testicles are like magnets for anything that can hit them.

Hope this helps someone.
I had pain at least on e a year
since 2011. Urologist will send for me an
ultrasound and it was always the issue pain on the epididymis on the left testicle. Dr will prescribe for doxycycline which has taken care of the issue. Since 2011 the issue will come up once a year and I go through bed rest for 3-5 days. Things that have helped me are. 1. Doxycycline 2. Ice pack on affected area often to keep the swelling down.I had the issue again in 2017, slight pain... so I took doxycycline that I already had for just 5 days. After couple of weeks issue happened again... this time doxycycline didn't work (may be because didn't take the full course when I had slight pain :(. ). Dr prescribed for bactrim and that helped. I am 45 years old. So, antibiotic and ice is what helped me when I had the issue. Hope this helps someone to get their health back.

Ok Guys :>)
I am 62 and started having this issue after my Vasectomy ... 30 years ago ... Comes and Goes Ever Since ... Suck Up and Enjoy it ... Sorry, it will come and go ... That Vasectomy was the Worst Experience of Pain a guy might have ... shy of childbirth as my wife tells me LOL ... I will Never forget That event ... of course, having the two female medical students on one side of table gawking at my junk and the urologist being 80 years old on the other side ... did not help Haha! Then he says, "Perhaps you should have taken the Valium BEFORE we started LOL ... as i am heaving in a bag after he pulled on my vas deferen ... over these past 3 decades ... my right side testicle feels like it is wrapped-up by what feels like a plastic tube ... like you use in an aquarium pump ... OUCH! Swelling and Constant scrotum pain ... Mmmmm ... Thanks for reading my story.
