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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

I'm trying to understand more about my urine culture report that showed an E. coli infection. I'm a bit stressed about what this means for treatment. Do I need to take pills, or should I expect injections? Could it require hospital admission? I'd really appreciate some guidance on the diagnosis process and which type of doctor I should see. I've got my reports with me if that helps.

The report mentions calculus in the urinary bladder and a PVR of 85ml along with an enlarged liver. Does this mean I have stones or pathri? Is surgery the only option for treatment?
