I have the same problem plus CP. Removal has never been suggested by
a uro. But if it became a MAJOR problem I would raise the subject
with my uro and possibly go under the knife. I know that antibiotic
therapy has never done much good. Like an infected appendix: if
thy epididymis offend thee, cut it off. Being sterile from a
vasectomy 25 years ago at age 33, I can see no benefit to my
epididymi. Please note that I am not an MD.

Any medico types ("real" doctors) out there care to comment on this
one?? This forum in recent months has become more and more tedious
and very repetitive in my humble opinion. It seems that several
US-based physicians who were contributors a while back have dropped
off the scene............ are you folks still out there?????

Hi Daniel- I to have Post Vasectomy Syndrome. I had a blown
epididymis, which is what I suspect you have. Yes I had mine
removed and it helped relieve much of the pain, but not all.
There is a paper called A Late Post Vasectomy Syndrome,
Journal Of Urology 1985. It is not on line , bur i can snail
mail it . Dave
