[|Human|] I was diagnosed with Epididymitis 3 months ago. I was prescribed with Doxycycline for 2 weeks. Ive had follow up checkups and ultrasounds and theyve been given the all clear, yet I still feel the occasional pain in my testicle. Could this just be psychological? Can the infection spread to other areas of the body?
[|AI|]  Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor. In my opinion the pain may be due to psychological as you have taken the complete course of Doxycycline for 2 weeks and the follow-up check-ups and ultrasound revealed nothing significant. So please relax first. Anxiety causes more problem than the real problem. It is very unlikely that epididymitis can spread to other areas of the body.However, if you are really feeling the pain either at rest or on touch, try to discuss the same with your Family Doctor. Hope this helps. If you have any other questions, then I will be happy to answer them. Take care. Regards.
