BBB, there are two kinds of epididymitis, infectious and inflammatory. Do you know which kind you have? Important to know. Causes & treatments differ.

It's legal and you can buy them both on Amazon. But do not take them lightly. DMSO penetrates deeply and Iodine is used at hospitals as an antiseptic. They will both also make your antibiotics work better.

Testing indicates no std or bacterial infection, but sterile urine leaking into my epididymis through the ejaculatory ducts, (a side effect of the turp procedure which was done a couple of months before my implant). As a result, I am having my epididymis removed later this month. In either case, antibiotics should calm everything down in short order, but just something to watch out for if it happens again. Hopefully not. Enjoy your weekend in the sun.

I believe that there is plenty of poor judgement to go around and a lot of it isn't yours.

I have one each shoulder and knee joints implanted and used to take 4 amoxy prior to any potentially invasive dental procedure, esp. cleaning. The newest guidance is that this is unnecessary and I have stopped. Don’t take my word for it, anyone; do your research.
