Hi, I was diagnosed with epididymitis for the first time about a month and a half ago. I had no visible swelling or discharge, just severe pain in the testicles, which began in the groin. I was put on two weeks of 2x per day doxycycline, and it appeared to disappear. Soon, the discomfort in the groin came back and I made an appointment before the testicular pain redeveloped. I was put on another week of 2x per day doxycycline, and this dose felt less effective. I went to a urologist and he currently has me on 3 weeks of 2x per day ciprofloxacin. I m in week 2 of that treatment and it just seems like the antibiotics tame the infection, but do not eliminate it entirely. I had a scrotal ultrasound, which showed nothing else wrong. So, my main question is should I refrain from ejaculating while I m on this medication?...My doctors never specified, and I feel like this may be influencing the recovery. I read online that others have been told by their physicians to ejaculate regularly because it will clear out the infection, but read the opposite elsewhere. So, what can should I do to make this go away for good?
