I have been diagnosed with chronic epididymitis for almost a year. I have pain on the upper part of my right testicles(the right epididymitis gland)and a lot of discomfort. I also have discomfort in the scrotum. I have seen various urologists and taking antibiotics and it has not work only the first time. I have change my diet and been taking herbal medicine and some homeopathic medicine. Please help me with this and to select the best remedy for me I can't stand the discomfort and pain anymore. Right now I'm taking aurum met. 30C, arnica 30C.

Please answer the following questions in a descriptive manner after careful analysis and recollection of previous experiences and happenings.

1. Describe your main suffering? Pain and discomfort in my testicles especially in the upper part above my right testicle(epididymitis gland) also discomfort at the lower part of the scrotum(the ultrasound indicated a possible hydrocele and a couple of very small cysts in the epididymitis gland(the right side)).

2. What other physical sufferings do you have in your body? Everything else in my body is ok.

3. What mental sufferings / feelings do you have associated with your physical sufferings? I get worry because it has been like 11 months already and I have tried antibiotics, pain killers, natural medicine some homeopath. I also have changed my diet completely I basically eat fruits, vegetables, lots of water and nothing with grease. No alcohol, caffeine etc. I’m eating extremely healthy. The feelings that I have are discourage and not knowing what is happening with me how come my condition does not improve and gets cured. I have been praying a lot to God for him to guide me and find me the cure.

4. What exactly do you feel when you are at your worst? Describe the sensation in your own words. Down, discourage, unsure and worry about my condition. I get discourage because I do my best and pain and discomfort don’t go away.

5. When did it all start? Can you connect it to any past event or disease? It started about 11 months ago. I was having sex with different females but I always used protection(condom) and all the tests that they have done indicated that there are not STDs. I know there’s some bacteria that still can penetrate the glands but the doctors tell me that the antibiotics don’t really work because at times not all the times theres no infection just inflammation but in my case at the beginning there was an infection when the doctor did the prostate exam some white fluid came out but he gave me antibiotics and it went away but then it came back and the antibiotics have not work since then. Maybe the infection has been eliminated maybe not. What we do know is that the right epididymitis gland is a little bit swollen.

6. Which time of the day you are worst? Practically all the time.

7. What are the things which aggravate your suffering and which are those which ameliorate the same? Example- time, temperature, pressure, rubbing, washing, eating, tight clothing etc.
The only thing that helps is when I take showers and baths other than that the pain feels the same. It hurts in the upper part like I mentioned and also in lower part between scrotum and ball(sign of some fluid there(hydrocele))

8. Do your think your sufferings have relation to any external stimuli (like, change of place) or any internal biological changes in the body, like, menses (in females)? No, because I have lived in the same place for 14 years.

9. When do you feel better, during hot weather or cold weather, humid or dry weather? I feel the same all the time pretty much.

10. Describe your general mental set up? Are you Moody, Arrogant, Mild, Agreeable Changeable, Nervous, Suspicious, Easily offended, Quiet, Arguing, Irritating, Lazy etc.
I’m friendly but worry a lot and get nervous because of my condition.

- How do you feel before or during a thunderstorm? I don’t really feel anything because where I was born(Mexico it rains heavy with thunderstoms all the time)

- Do you like being consoled during your tough times? Yes, because people give me hope and I also pray a lot.
- Are you sensitive to external stimuli like smell, noise, light etc?
As you can imagine when theres pain and discomfort in your body you get easily irritated and annoyed.

- Do you have any typical habit or gesture like nail biting, causeless
Weeping, talking to one self etc? At times I talk to myself especially right now and when I’m praying to give myself encouragement.

- How do you feel about your friends, family, your children and especially your husband / wife? I love my family and friends they’re very supportive and helpful they give me a lot of encouragement. I’m single right now but hopefully I can find a wife soon but my health is most important right now(absolutely).

11. What are your fears and do you dream of any situation repeatedly?
I don’t really dream and my fears are that this pain and discomfort have not gone away.

12. What do you crave for in food items and what are your aversions? Right now I’m eating healthy I don’t really crave anything right now just to be healthy and pain free again.

13. How is your thirst: Less, Normal or Excessive?
Normal.
14. How is your hunger: Less, Normal or Excessive?
Normal

15. Is there any kind of food which your body can’t stand?
Not really, I only eat what I like.

16. Is your sweat normal or less or more? Where does it sweat more: Head, Trunk or Limbs? My sweat is normal and I sweat more under my arms and groin.

17. How is your bowel movement and stool type? Normal and since I’m eating a lot of fruit my bowel movement is solid.

18. How well do you sleep? Do you have a particular posture of sleeping? Lately I have not been able to sleep that much because of my worry and the pain/discomfort in my testicles mostly on the right side. Also I turn to the right side during my sleep and my body puts pressure on that right side of the testicle(upper part epididymitis gland) it hurts more.

19. Do you think you are able to satisfy your sexual desires in general? I have not been very active lately but before I was pretty normal.

20. Do you have any strange, peculiar or unusual symptom or feelings? How are you different from others? The only feelings that I have are because of the discomfort and pain in my private area. This is my only worry my health is the most important thing after God of course.

21. What medications have been taken earlier by you to treat the diseases and do you have any particular symptom surfacing after the medication? Antibiotics, antiimflammatories, natural medicine(herbs) and homeopathic. I’m also taking vitamins.

22. What major diseases are running in your family? None

23. Describe, how do you look like? Describe your overall appearance.

(For Females)
24. If your menstrual cycles are not normal, please describe the irregularities, like pains, moods, flow type, clots etc.

25. What major diseases have you had in your life and when. Please write them in a chronological manner.
Severe colds/flu when I was little but not anymore in my teenage and adult life, I had an arthoscopic knee surgery in my left knee in 1998 to remove some cartilage and to clean the knee, and then in 2000 I suffered from some depression/anxiety do to a terrible headache that I had but thank God that went away it was a very bad experience. Since then what I’m experiencing right now this terrible discomfort in pain in my testicular area.
Please help me I know God has put you in my path I will forever be grateful to you. Living with this is not good it affects everything in my life. I just want to be normal again I want to be pain free again. Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks.

Doctors

juan herrera last decade
please take CLEMATIS ERECTA 12C three times a day for some 2 to 3 weeks.

if you get some relief in pain during this time, you should continue in 30c potency once a day till the pain is completely gone.


if no response in 3 weeks, please come back for alternate remedy.

Hi Doctor Rishimba, August 11,2008
I have an urgent question About 3 weeks ago before you told me what remedy to take(which I have not taking yet Clematis erecta 12C and 30C) My homeopathic doctor had giving me a remedy to take MED 30C once(5 pellets) and then to take MED 200C three days after(5 pellets at night and 5 pellets the following morning and then stop which I did). The pain on the right side(epididymus gland) has not gone away as a matter of fact now I also have pain in my left side as well. The pain on both glands(sides) is very strong. The Doctors says that is part of the healing aggravation but I’m not to sure about that I have read that homeoapathic works like that at times but I’m not sure. What should I do Doctor I really need your help because the pain and discomfort is intolerable. The pain is always there and is very difficult for me to do anything work, brush my teeth anything. Please give some advice and tell or suggest what should I do. I want to get better should I try your remedy now.

Hi Doctor Rishimba, I have taken the Remedy Clematis Erecta 12C for two weeks and for the last 3 days I have been taking clematis Eracta 30C like you suggested. When I was taking the 12C I felt better I still had the pain but less. Should I continue taking the 30C since a little bit of a strong pain came back yesterday or should I go back to the 12C please advice on what to do. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
 
juan herrera last decade
Hi Doctor Rishimba, I'm following up on my last email like I indicated in tha last email I was feeling better with clematis 12C than Clematis 30 that's why I went back to the 12C I felt good for a few days with only minor pain but this last week the pain started coming back. I'm still taking clematis 12C three times a day like suggested. What should I do? Is this part of the healing going back and forth? I really wanted this pain on the right epididimus glands to go away for good. I hope you can respond to my email soon. Thank you so much.

Hi,

I really hope you can help since the middle of August 2008, I have been taking clematis erecta 12C for my pain in the right testicles (in the epididymitis gland) in those three months I had some improvement but the pain started coming back again. I was taking the clematic erecta 12C three times a day. Is there anything that you can suggest or recommend me to do. The pain is mostly on the right side I feel it deep but at times it comes to the surface. Yesterday for example I touch my testicles and they felt warm. The discomfort is just there inside. Please help me God put you in my path once and you were able to helped me please do it again because it's very difficult to have peace like this. Thank you very much.

I have the same problem with testicles from an STD and no one here really knows what to do for it but give advise not really knowing what they are doing. Seems all a guessing game to me. The best thing so far for the pain is turmeric every day and eating certain foods that are either good to eat or not good to eat like dairy is not good to eat. You must write down what you eat and how you feel after eating it. Do a water fast for a few days before starting it. This is a very painful monster that all should be aware of before getting into a relationship with another person. STD testing is not the answer because it is not being tested for. Have safe protected sex or stay away from it.

Fritz,
it was good you did a separate thread and are being prescribed by Anuj to start
with cell salt of Ferrum Phos 6x.

http://www.abchomeopathy.com/forum2.php/391702 is the thread you should
stay on and other people who read this thread can follow along on your cure.

Is there anyone out there that can help me? Has anybody been cured of chronic epididimitis?

One and a half years ago I had a one night stand, I was very drunk and do not remember much about the sex we had.

One week later I got a irritation on the end of my penis, I went to the std clinic and they gave me antibiotics for a week.

The irritation , just a light tickle lingered on but after about 2 weeks, then my testicles started to ache.

This condition has gone on up to the present day, it is ruining my life and makes me depressed however much I try to ignore it.

The pain varies from a dull ache to extreme discomfort were at times I have felt sick and faint with the pain. Most of the time it is just there, bringing me down. Some days are more painful than other days, there seems to be no pattern. The pain spreads to my lower tummy and to my anus.

I get it on both sides of my testicles may be a little more on the right one.


TREATMENTS

After the first course of antibiotics from the std clinic my doctor gave me another weeks supply.

I tried a one pill antibiotic.

I tried a course Doxadosin, which I was led to believe could help.

Lately I have had a two week course of ciprofloxcacine.

Non of the above have worked.

Ibuprofen sometimes helps the pain a little, and sometimes not.

I have now started taking Pulsatilla and Arnica, this also does not seem to be working.

I am a 59 year old male, about 14 stone and reasonably fit. I do not suffer from any other conditions other than this.

I think I am possible prone to inflammation.

I do not know if it is relevant, but prior to this condition, I had a very strange disorder for 2 and half years: “travelling inflammation” and pain! it would effect my ankle, my knee, elbow, fingers neck jaw, just about every where. It would last from 12 hours to 4 days then move on somewhere else or disappear for a bit.

After two and a half years it just disappeared,, but around the same time this new condition took hold.

Coincidence or not?

Any advice for a cure, I would be eternally grateful.

kadwa,

I have got the Arsenicum Album but could only get 30c
I presume i should take 6 or 7 of these morning and night?

Also i am in the middle of taking Arnica 30c and Pulsatilla 30c one, once a day for a month. Is it ok to continue when i start the Arsenicum Album ?

kervynabc
 
kervynabc last decade
Please stop other homeopathic remedies. Please take Arsenicum Album 30 twice for 3 days.
 
kadwa last decade
Hi Kadwa,

First let me thank you for your advice to take Arsenicum Album, It has helped.

I have taken them for 3 days and today I have stopped.

I was a little afraid to take 6-7 of the little white pills,( Arsenicum Album
30) so I started with 2 morning and night , next day I took 4 morning and night, last day 7 morning and night.

During the day I am hardy noticing it, but the last two nights it was there, and kept me awake. So it has not disappeared completely.

This is the first treatment that has given me some relief.

It is strange, because as the pain in my testicles went away, I got an attack of the strange wandering inflammation pain in my hand and wrist, (far preferable to the horrid pain in testis) it lasted 12 hours and then mostly disappeared.

Any more advice much appreciated.

kervynabc last decade
Please take Arsenicum Album 30 only in the evening for 3 days and see how it affects.
 
kadwa last decade
Dear Kadwa,

I took Arsenicum Album for three nights as you suggested.

The day after the first night I thought it had gone completely, but the following day’s it crept back.

Although improved the condition is still there.
 
kervynabc last decade
Please take the remedy every alternate day in the evening now. Please report after 7 days.
 
kadwa last decade
Dear Kadwa,

I took the Arsenicum Album every other evening as you suggested.
I have kept a record of how the condition has affected me.

Took Arsenicum Album Friday night.

Saturday: trouble with condition all day.

Sunday: mild on and off.

Monday: on and off.

Tue: hardly bothered me.

Wednesday: mild in the morning, rest of the day no problem.

Thursday: little bit on and off.

Friday: morning persistent ache, after one hour rest, mild.
 
kervynabc last decade
Now take the remedy once in 4 days. You may take 3 doses over 12 days.
 
kadwa last decade
Thanks, will do, finishing antibiotics for tooth infection first then will start.
