I've been dealing with a kind of mild to medium pain in my testicles and I don't have any other symptoms. The doctor checked me out and mentioned something about slight epididymitis and put me on levofloxacin antibiotics. It's been about 10 days on the meds, but I'm not really seeing any change. Any idea why it's not improving? How long does it normally take for epididymitis to get better, and do you think trying a different antibiotic might help? I'm a bit worried and would appreciate some guidance.

I'm trying to figure out the best time to take dutamax 0.5 dutasteride tablets. Is it better to take them at night, or does it not really matter? I've heard different things and I'd just like to get it straight. Any advice?

Dutamax 0.5 (dutasteride) can be taken at any time of day, with or without food, but it's recommended to take it at the same time every day for consistency, and nighttime is a common choice to establish a routine and minimize potential side effects like dizziness.

My left testis has gotten bigger but there's no pain. Allopathic doctors say surgery is needed to remove the fluid. Is there any way homeopathy can fix this without going under the knife?

No,diagnosis is hernia.Surgery advised is hydrocelectomy ,it could be either laparocopic or open hydrocelectomy procedure.OPD basis procedure,patients can go home on the same day.Homeopathy treatment is upto you.Bed rest is advised for about 2-3 weeks post surgery.
