I had this a few months ago during my track season. I chose not to take any antibiotics as they have a negative effect on endurance. Instead I elevated my scrotum when ever I was laying down, and I consumed massive amounts of cranberry juice and other sources of vit c. It took about two weeks to get over this way, but I also did not have to take medicine which is always a plus.

I've had this a couple of times. Pain is really bad. There are so many tubes down there that once you have it one time, it is very hard to get rid of it and usually comes back at some point. Take ibuprofin, soak your boys in a warm bath, and wear tight underwear / jock until the pain goes away. I was back on the bike as soon as the pain was not too much.

Isn't Epididymitis the name of that dog character in The Labrynth?

Some anti-inflammatory & antibiotics will heal you quickly. The best preventative is to have sex four times a week.

Yesterday it was back with a vengence and hurt pretty badly, so I went in, and saw my doctor. She ( yes a she) sent me for an ultrasound this morning that ruled out anything else. She started me on the antibiotic cyproflaxacin.
Has anybody else had this? Is it cycling related? Before this, I always was very comfortable on my bike, and had an excellent fit. I am in good condition, 34, 5'10" 172lbs. |
another possibility is that you have a pinched nerve around L5-S1---that dermatome runs right down into your balls
