Hi,
Fenugreek may reduce or prevent inflammation all over the body but may not be effective in completely reducing chronic inflammation of epididymis. It can taken as a dietary supplement along with anti-inflammatory drugs. Long duration of treatment with drugs or rarely surgery may be required for epididymitis.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
