I've had epididymitis for more than two months now. I'm not promiscuous and I've been tested for STDs and the test was negative, but doctors have given me a course of Doxycycline 100mg to be taken twice a day a couple of months ago, and another course was given to me last week, but they seem to be having little to no effect. The pain isn't severe, but I'm worried about long-term fertility issues and stuff like that which can be associated with this. Ibuprofen seems to stop the pain pretty well, but I want to address and treat the underlying cause so it doesn't ruin my chances of conceiving in the future, it worries me because I'm only 18 and I don't have the pathogens associated with this in my age group. I'm booked in for an ultrasound scan next month, but I want to hear some guidance in the meantime.
