A member asked:
Does traumatic epidimitis need antibiotics and how many days does it last?i am on my 14th day and still on pain even though less..no swelling anymore
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Epididymitis: Traumatic epididymitis should not require antibiotics as long as no complications have developed. If the testis becomes increasingly tender, more swollen, hot to touch, you have fever or pain on urination, see your urologist again asap.
