Epididymitis?: It's unusual for a 24 year old man to get a uti. Epidiymitis is more common, and would explain the testicular symptoms. The antibiotics should be chosen based on the culture results, but you may need a longer source than for a uti. Scrotal ultrasound can also be helpful. Epididymis is in young men is usually caused gonorrhea or chlamydia, which would not show up on a standard urine cultures.

Prostatitis?: Your meds show ciproflox and levoflox. Need only one of the two, they are similar. Your symptoms suggest prostatitis rather than simple uti. It needs longer duration of therapy & has slower resolution of symptoms. If you were treated with more than a week and no better, let your doc know to reevaluate the plan of treatment including possible re culture and antibiotic adjustment.
