What Causes Epididymitis?

I have just found out my ex husband had been diagnosed with epididymitis approx 12 months after his marriage exit. Upon reading regards this condition, I was alarmed to find out that this condition follows gonorrhoea or chlamydia. What are the chances that he may have infected me?

Hi, I think you can go for a pelvic examination by a gynecologist if you are having symptoms like pain in abdomen and vaginal discharge. It will confirm if you have got the infection or not. There is a chance of getting infection if you had an unprotected intercourse. You may need some antibiotic and antifungal drugs orally as well as vaginal.
