what to take if you have epididymitis? Thanks?

Answer 1

Did you go to the doctor? The doctor should give you a script for an antibiotic because that is the only thing that will work for epididymitis. How do you know that is what you have? You should go see your doctor about this. They can help and give you the proper care you need. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Medications to treat infection are prescribed. Sexually-transmitted infections require special antibiotics, and the patient's sexual partners should also be simultaneously treated. Pain medications may be required and anti-inflammatory medications are often prescribed.

Bed rest, with elevation of the scrotum and ice packs applied to the area, is recommended. It is very important to have a follow-up visit with your health care provider to evaluate whether the infection has completely resolved.

Epididymitis usually resolves with appropriate antibiotic therapy, without any damage to prior sexual or reproductive abilities. Recurrence is fairly common.
