An inflammation of the epididymis, which is the tube behind the testicle where sperm is stored and transported, is called epididymitis. The most common symptoms are pain and swelling from a bacterial infection or an STD (sexually transmitted disease).

Epididymitis treatment with antibiotics is controversial. Some have found benefits in symptoms, while others have questioned the utility of a trial of antibiotics. Antibiotics are known to have anti-inflammatory properties and this has been suggested as an explanation for their partial efficacy in treating Epididymitis Or Epididymal Cyst. Antibiotics such as fluoroquinolones, tetracyclines and macrolides have direct anti-inflammatory properties in the absence of infection, blocking inflammatory chemical signals (cytokines) such as interleukin-1 (IL-1), interleukin-8 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF).

Antibiotics usually resolve acute epididymitis infections in a very short time, however a minimum of two to four weeks of antibiotic therapy is recommended to eradicate the offending organism completely. In chronic epididymitis, a four- to six-week course of antibiotics may be prescribed to ensure the complete eradication of any possible bacterial cause, especially the various chlamydiae. Since antibiotics will do damage to your immune with drug resistance and to your health with damage to some organ. Try to choose some safe and effective herbal Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory treatment, which would be best antibiotics for Epididymitis.

See your doctor. That’s nothing to mess around with.

Yes, go to see doctor firstly. But doctor always prescribed antibiotics, which doesn't work well on chronic condition.
