Had epididymitis from chlamydia in 2005. chlamydia cured w doxycline but epididymis stayed enlarged. lot of pain lately. could an epidiymectomy help?

Here are some ...: The lingering testicular pain related with a definitely tender indurated epididymis after treating presumptive epididymitis may be "cured" with total epididymectomy by a skillful surgeon, but its indication should be individually reached by thorough analysis of Hx + careful physical exams + tests as needed so to balance the equation between medical necessity & professional possibility. Best wish..
