Top 7 Homeopathic Medicines for Epididymitis

Inflammation of the epididymis (coiled tube at the back of testicle) is known as epididymitis. This tube stores the sperms while they mature and transport them from the testes to the vas deferens. The primary cause of epididymitis is sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and bacterial infection of urinary tract or prostate (that travel to the epididymis.) The most common sexually transmitted infection includes gonorrhoea and chlamydia. Some risk factors for epididymitis include having unprotected sex with a partner who has a sexually transmitted infection, use of a catheter, recent urinary tract surgery, an uncircumcised penis and a history of urinary tract infection/prostate infection. Besides, an injury to the groin area can also lead to epididymitis. Complication of epididymitis include abscess formation in the scrotum and epididymo-orchitis (that arise in cases where infection spreads from epididymis to the testicle).

Homeopathy offers excellent treatment for epididymitis. Homeopathic medicines for epididymitis help reduce inflammation, swelling, redness of epididymis and manage its symptoms very effectively. These remedies provide relief from symptoms like pain and tenderness in the testicle, painful urination, an urgency to urinate, frequent urination, discharge from the penis and painful ejaculation.

While homeopathy is free from side effects and gives long-term results.

This way, it eradicates the infection and promotes natural recovery. In most cases, it results in a complete cure.

  4. Hello Dr. Sharma
    I have epididymitis, about 3-4 years ago I went to the doctors and they did ultrasound and results came back that I have this. Now I happened to examine it myself and found out that i have the cyst. I don’t know if I had it the whole time or it came back because I just didn’t pay attention to it since they told me these usually go away on its own. The reason why I examined it is because I have dull pain sometimes it just comes and goes randomly. So I want to ask you what’s something natural that can help get rid of this? I would so appreciate your reply. Thank you so much
