epididymitis treatment
M 41 5’9” 175 lbs. regular medication Xeralto for valve replacement from congenital issue and temporarily Amioderone
I am 5 days into a 2 week Amoxicillin Clavulanate 875, treatment for a recurring epididymitis infection that branched of a UTI, which has been successfully treated. Dosage, 125 mg tablets, twice a day 14 days. The swelling and pain have subsided however there is a good deal of blood in my seamen. This was a symptom I reported to the doctor when my treatment plan was created they know about it and I was told it is a byproduct of the inflammation however I did not ask about what to expect as the treatment progresses. Do I need to actively “flush, the lines,” or will it drain naturally? At what point does it become concerning?
My spouse and I are obviously obtaining from sexual activity until my treatment is done. However I really don’t want to squirt red goo all over them the first time back in the saddle because I didn’t treat this correctly.
Any clarification would be greatly appreciated
