How long does epididymitis take to heel? how long should i be on an antibiotic prescribed from urologist? was diagnosed w/ epididymitis months ago but he only gave me 6 weeks worth; i didnt notice any changes but it feels like its getting worse

Epididymitis: You need to confirm the diagnosis. If you really had epididymitis, usually 10-14 days treatment is plenty. Persisting pain after several weeks strongly suggests something other than epididymits. Check back with the urologist or get a second opinion. Good luck.
