A member asked:
If the cause of my epididymitis is not infection, will ciprofloxacin help at all? prescribed 500 mg2 for 20 days.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See details: The cause of epididymitis is usually a bacterial infection and the responsible bacteria are usually identified in about 80% of cases.Two main groups of organisms cause most cases of epididymitis: sexually transmitted organisms and coliforms. Antibiotics are often required for this infection. Viruses and some medications can be the causes and no antibiotics would be needed then.
