Hi,Dear,Welcome with your query to HCM.
Studied your query in full depth of its details.Reviewed it in context of your health concerns.
Based On the facts, You mostly seem to suffer from-Incompletely Treated Chlamydial infection or / resistant strain not responding to the pills you took from your doctor / or could be you had another exposure causing the recurrent attack with Orchitis lately.This could also be due to the accompanied prostatitis causing extended complication from the illtreated focus in it.
Thus this is a serious matter and needs a change in treatment.
I would suggest you to add Ceftriaxone / Ciplox would be better options than the doxycycline and for 2 weeks period in your case.
USG of the testes and epididymis and of prostate for assessing the case before planning the extent and line of treatment in your case.
Beside antibiotics change / General health improvement by better diet /plenty of fluids/ rest for 8 hrs / healthy high portein high vegan diet with plenty of fruit juices with Vitamine supplements would help you.
Hope that ,This reply would help you to plan further treatment soon with your treating doctors.Best of Luck and early recovery.
Welcome any further query in this regard,which would be replied in next
session.
