For about the last 18 months I have had very tender testicles. I know that they are sensitive things anyway, but this is more than normal. So much so, that when I just 'catch' them with my hand, I wince. Or when the wife goes near them(sorry to appear crude)
About 3 months ago, I was still not happy so I took myself into A&E. I had previously been investigating this on the Internet and found that I suffered from Epididymitis. The young girl in A&E checked me over and within 5 minutes, stated that indeed she thought I had Epididymitis. She gave me a course of Ciproflaxcin ( I think that was how it was spelt!) and a referral for an Ultrasound. The tablets didn't work, suffice to say.
Yesterday I went to see my GP about the Ultrasound results, which I knew were fine. He is now recommending me to a Urologist.I have previously been to see a Urologist and had 2 Ultrasounds...both fine.
What is Epididiymitis?
How did I get it?
I have been diagnosed with a low sperm count...is this because of the Epididiymitis?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
