No natural treatment: There are no effective non-medical treatments for epididymitis. Epididymitis is usually due to an infection of the epididymis, which is on the side of each testicle. Antibiotics are needed to resolve the infection, and anti-inflammatories (such as tylenol (acetaminophen) or motrin) are used to decrease the pain and inflammation. A primary care doctor or a urologist can evaluate such symptoms and start treatment.

Yes, but no research: There are natural treatments for everything but no research proving they work (also no studies showing they won't).Standard treatment includes antibiotics so one can try natural anti-microbials like uva-ursi,goldenseal,olive leaf extract, oregano oil and natural anti-inflammatories like curcumin/proteolytic enzymes. Homeopathy can help too. See https://tinyurl.com/y4zso3w4 Consult integrative Dr.

No: Irrespective of what you read elsewhere, the question is less whether natural treatments are used than it is whether they are effective, and the answer is no. Antibiotics (by prescription) are the recommended treatment. Symptom relief includes over-the-counter antiinflammatory drugs like ibuprofen, icing as needed, and elevating the scrotum, but these are not cures.
