Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
Epididymitis is inflammation of the epididymis.It can be classified as acute (if the symptoms such as pain and swelling occur over a period of days) or chronic (pain and inflammation last more than 6 weeks)
When this is suspected, the investigations include the tests mentioned as well as urinalysis and testing of any discharge that may be present.
In chronic infection a long course of antibiotics (for 4 to 6 weeks) may be prescribed .
There are different antibiotics that may be used depending on the presentation and the lab results
In addition to the use of antibiotics, it is also recommended that you (1) reduce physical activity (2)use anti-inflammatory agents such as cataflam or ibuprofen (3) ice packs if necessary (4) elevation and support of the scrotum
You should continue the antibiotic given by your doctor, use an anti- inflammatory to aid it.Your doctor may consider extending the antibiotics if the infection does not resolve.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
