A member asked:

Bilateral epydidimitis.treated with cipro (ciprofloxacin) for 3 w. infection is gone and us showed only epydidimits.tenderness decreased but not gone, is it normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Inflammation: The inflammatory changes occurring with infection are often due to your normal immune defense mechanisms and this may take much longer to resolve than the infection itself. This seems, however, a little lengthy and if it keeps up you may want to see a urologist.
