How long does it take to fully recover from epididymitis ? using cipro (ciprofloxacin) for 3 weeks but i have still some hardness and ache, is it normal ?

Yes: Recovery from epididymitis largely depends on the severity, cause, and acuteness of the inflammation or infection but 2-4 weeks not uncommon with the various acute causes whereby the pain and tenderness usually resolve before the swelling/enlargement of the epididymis returns completely back to normal which can take up to 6 weeks or longer. 2-3 weeks of antibiotic and an anti-inflammatory med used.
