Answers:
What you have is a bacterial infection of the epididymus!.

Epididymitis is a problem because the immune system is downregulated in the reproductive tract!. Almost all of your cells have two of each chromosome, one from Ma and one from Dad!. But your sperm have only one of each chromosome!.
In your body's cells [other than gametes], there will be some genes that are recessive which are silenced by a dominant gene on the other chromosome!.
But in sperm, those usually silenced recessives will not be silenced as the other chromosome is not there!. This will cause the sperm to express proteins that are not found in the rest of your body!.
If the immune system were not down regulated in the reproductive tract, your immune system would see anything expressing such proteins as invaders and kill them, so we'd all be sterile!. Evolution would not reward this!.!.!.
However, the downside of the reduced immune function is that infections are harder to fight off!.
Keep tabs on it, talk with the docs, and take your pills!.
You should get a clear idea from the docs of when you should start to see reduction in swelling, inflammation, etc!. If the antibiotic is not working, it needs to be swapped for another one, and preferably before too long!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
