Suffering From Epididymitis On Both Testicles. On Doxycycline Hyclate And Antibiotics.

I have epididymitis on both testicles, and smoking marijuana greatly intensifies the pain. Am I setting back the healing process? Just a side note, I initially had the epididymitis on one testicle a few weeks ago, but then took antibiotics to clear it up. It returned to both testes just under a week ago. I ve been on Doxycycline Hyclate for 2 days with minor relief.

Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have developed Bilateral Epididymitis
You had epididymitis on one side and you have taken aantiiotics for the same.

Epididymitis takes long time (4-6 weeks) to recover and ihat is the reason the infection has spread to opposite side.

Take antibiotics like Doxycycline along wih anti inflammatory medicine like Diclofenac and serripeptidase twice daily for a month
it should get cured.
