Since you have had recurrent bout of EO you probably need a workup. A UTI workup includes a xray for the kidneys using dye called an IVP or an Ultrasound and a cystoscopic exam. A cystoscopic exam is when the doctor uses a lighted telescope to look into the bladder. These two tests may reveal an infected stone which could be seeding your epididymis with bacteria. He may also may want to see who well you bladder is emptying.
Stagnant urine can help bacteria grow.
A cyst of the epididymis is usually benign but can be painful. Surgery is a usually a last resort to remove the cyst for pain. We can also arrange local accommodations through this number if this is your need. Please bring any physicians notes and lab test results that you may be able to obtain. These will help us greatly.
