Had Prostate Infection, Swelling In Testicles, Painful, Have Intestinal Issue. Taken Numerous Herbs. What Is Wrong?

I've had a prostate infection for a while , can't seem to get rid of it. I have taken two courses of Cipro within the last year and it has helped. For a time, but it just keeps coming back. I've also taken numerous herbs for the prostate which did a lot of good. I'm still having symptoms on and off , not to bad. One problem though I've noticed is that on the right side of my testicles, inside there seems to be swelling or maybe fluid build up. There is pain. And it seems to get worse when I get over worked or stressed. Also about two years ago I had some sort of intestinal issue, not exactly sure what the cause was though. We think it was a bacteria of some sorts. Any feed back would be appreciated.

General Surgeon 's  Response
hello,

You seem to be suffering from prostatitis, which is a difficult condition to treat. It requires a lot of patience from the physician as well as the patient, a prolonged course of antibiotics is usually required.
for the swelling that you have mentioned you may get yourself examined by a surgeon, who may advice an ultrasound to you to further clarify the diagnosis.
This present problem is though not related to your earlier intestinal issue.

Wishing you a speedy recovery

Regards
