Have Burning Feeling On Testicle. Diagnosed As Epididymitis. On 2 Months Medication. Is This Normal?
I went to a Uroligist last week because I had a burning feeling in my left testicle . I was freaked out about a STD . I wnt to the local health department and did a urine test for Clamidia and Gonorea. Sorry about the spelling. It came back negative. Doctor felt of my testicle and rectum and diagmosed me with Epidimitis, Again sorry about spelling,,,, He prescribed 500 MG of Cipro and 500 MG of Keflex 2 x per day for two months, Is this normal? is two months too long?

Hi
Epididymitis is the infection and inflammation of the epididymis,a structure present just above the testis and is attached to it.
It needs antibiotic and anti inflammatory drugs.
IT will take sometime for it to get subsided.
Sometimes,it may take more than 2 months
Please go as per your doctor's advice.
Wish you speedy recovery
