Can Bactrim Help Deal With Twitches In Scrotum?
I feel little random painless twitches in my scrotum. They started happening after i started taking the antibiotic Bactrim last night. I saw a urologist recently and he said i have epididimytis and that everything else is ok. Should i go back to a doctor to have him check it out again?

Hello,
I can understand your concern. Bactrim is not associated with twitches in the scrotum. If your doctor said that your are suffering for epididymitis, then these spasms may be associated with the epididymitis and not the antibiotics. You can wait until the course is complete and infection is eliminated. Most probably it will go away with the infection.
In addition, try to do some changes in your lifestyle so that if the spasms are muscular, it can help. You can try to avoid prolonged sitting and try to do some exercises like swimming or brisk walking.
If you do not find any relief yet, then consulting a neurologist to diagnose muscle related problems is advised.
