Question

Hey, so I recently found out I have Epididymo Orchitis after visiting the doctor because my right testicle was really swollen. I'm on antibiotics now, but I'm really curious how long it's going to take for this swelling to completely disappear. Any idea what the usual timeline is for something like this?

Swelling from epididymo-orchitis usually begins to improve within a few days of starting antibiotics, but it can take **2-4 weeks** for the swelling to completely resolve. Rest, scrotal support, and anti-inflammatory medications can help speed up recovery. If swelling persists, follow up with your doctor.

Question

I'm a bit concerned about something. I'm 23 and recently, I've noticed that the head of my penis has turned a blackish color, and there are some horizontal wrinkles on it. I've been masturbating daily for the past three years, and sometimes I forget to clean up afterwards. Could you recommend a cream or any advice on what might be happening?

Question

I'm dealing with this intense burning sensation in my penis all day long, especially when it's erect. It feels like the nerves are stretching too much, which makes the pain unbearable. It's gotten to the point where I can't even sit on a bike. I found out I have trichomonas from a urine test and have been on treatment for 13 days, but I'm not seeing much progress. This has been going on for about five months now, and I'm getting pretty frustrated. I'm wondering if this infection can actually last that long and how much longer it might take to see some improvement. I've done all kinds of tests like MRI, color Doppler, and still, after all this time, the trichomonas was found in my urine test. Could you give me some advice on what to do next?
