Epididymal Cyst Remedies
Posted by Chris (Texas) on 05/30/2022
I have two epididymal cysts on the left and one on the right. The one on the left is starting to hurt and has grown a bit but has gotten better recently. I have read that it can be a iodine deficiency, so I have been applying some iodine on it once a day but should I should put it on there about three times a day? Anything else I can take internally as topically that will help resolve this issue so the body can resolve it. I really don't want to go through surgery. Please somebody help me asap!

MMS is miracle mineral Solution. It is made from a dilute solution of sodium chlorite and dilute acid. Look up the universal antidote to learn more.

I just read this post from the top and it is fascinating. Donna, you could try the chlorophyll internally and alternate for externally chlorophyll and castor oil, as this too works wonders on injury. Maybe the castor oil applied morning and the chlorophyll applied at night.
Best to you

Mark R., My father is suffering from an Orchitis infection and I'm looking for anything helpful at all. I read your post about treating Epididymis with liquid chlorophyll two years ago. Epididymis and Orchitis seem to be very similar. I'm curious to know if that remedy continued to work for you or if you found any other remedies that helped. Anything helpful from anyone on this topic would be much appreciated!

Epididymitis Triggers: Overstretching
Posted by Rick (Mount Ephraim, N.j.) on 09/08/2016
This is very interesting. For about 15 years now I have had swelling in the scrotum sac in my left testicle. The first doctor I went to told me to simply make sure I lifted weights with an empty bladder, that the strain was causing the problem.
I went to a urologist who examined me, did an ultrasound, deemed the prostate healthy, said it was epididymis and put me on some antibiotics. When that didn't work, he said he could remove the testicle but the discomfort from that wouldn't be any better. He said if I could live with the discomfort then that would be it.
I notice the swelling goes up and down throughout the day. Some days are better than others. This morning was bad. An erection I achieved in my sleep woke me up because it actually twinged. That happens sometimes. Sometimes there is soreness after ejaculation.
I am surprised to read that butterfly stretches are causing your problem. I have stretched every day for the last 20 years before my training at the gym and incorporate those stretches in the program.
I am going to lay off these and see what happens.

For 7 months I had pain and nausea after a bad testicle injury. Basically it felt like pieces of my epididymis were ripped and hanging in my perineum. Doctors were worthless and they said they found nothing on an ultrasound except small spermatoceole here and there.
Over 7 months I tried many treatments. Some notable ones were iodine protocol detox which seemed to clear up scar tissue in the area. Also I applied MSM to the area and that seemed to help with healing and pain. But NOTHING helped with the feeling I was leaking sperm into my blood. Everyday I still felt nauseous, I'd get low-level fevers and my testicles would smell like semen. My body was definitely triggering an autoimmune response from leaky pipes down there.
Just last week I tried liquid chlorophyll. After ingesting it and feeling slightly better, I decided to apply chlorophyll directly to my balls and perineum. It's been nothing short of a miracle. I don't seem to be leaking sperm anymore. I have no symptoms and feel 100% better. I'm not sure if this will last because my testicles look visibly different as if there was structural damage down there, but if it does last that would be amazing. I just paint my balls with 6 drops or so of chlorophyll every day and I feel great all day. It leaves my balls and underwear stained green, but I can live with that since I don't have debilitating pain and nausea anymore.
Epididymitis Triggers: Overstretching

Thanks for posting this. I can relate to the misdiagnosis because it happened to me. I was told the first time that I had an inguinal hernia. I was told by the second Dr that I had 2 inguinal hernias and they suggested surgery. Finally I went to a really GOOD FEMALE DOCTOR and SHE LISTENED. Like you it was the over straining and over stretching. ( I'm 51 years young and things change). I shudder when I think that they actually wanted to perform a surgical procedure that could possibly leave me impotent and in pain. Thanks again for your post.
Epididymitis Triggers: Overstretching
Posted by Craig (Albany, Oregon) on 11/04/2015

I recently went through an experience where I went to four different doctors seeking help to alleviate significant right testicle pain.
I described (what I considered to be) the root cause of the problem to each doctor: over-stretching during exercise. More specifically, doing butterfly stretches, something that I'd never really tried before.
The first doctor diagnosed me with prostatitis and put me on a course of antibiotics. The second and third doctors diagnosed me with epididymitis, and put me on a second course of antibiotics.
After a month the condition was no better, so I went to see a fourth doctor. When I described my condition to him as epididymitis, he smiled and said "or something like epdidymitis".
What? He then proceeded to tell me that my condition wasn't bacterial, but simply the inflammation of a nerve that runs through the groin area. He said that my condition was the result of an overstretched ligament from doing the butterfly stretches, and prescribed ice and Advil.
And he was right.
I've discovered that almost every time that I get sick, it simply means that I'm doing something wrong, and I just need to figure out what it is. This experience is an example of that maxim, and I can only imagine that if it holds true for me, then it holds true for others as well.
Anyway, I ended up diagnosed with three different things by four different people, and saw first hand how crucial it is for doctors to listen hard, and to occasionally think outside of the box.
No more butterfly stretches for me! Hope this helps someone.

That's very interesting. I have had this painful disease for about 2 months now and it's getting on my nerves. I'll be sure to try it and let you know how it goes.
By the way, I am also taking cranberry juice as I have a bladder infection and was given antibiotics which seemed to have helped ease the pain a little.
I will also try applying a charcoal poultice with flax seed in it as I hear it has anti-inflammatory properties and I'm hoping that maybe the charcoal can absorb whatever substance that's in my testicle.

I had epididymitis for several weeks. It was scary as hell, not to mention painful, but after talking with my PA and being told there's nothing they could do, I started searching around the web for some ideas and found the
natural magnesium treatment where you literally flush out the epididymis. After I tried it, my pain went away and it hasn't come back.

Homeopathic remedy:
hamamelis virginica 30x for epididymitis:
A family member had good results with the above remedy. He took a dose 30 minutes apart three times. Followed by a dose two hours apart for three times. Followed by a dose six hours apart three times.
He avoided all products containing mint and caffaine for the duration of the regiment and for 24 hours after symptoms had subsided. No need to awaken during the night to take the remedy. Just proceed with regiment the next day.
Good luck. YEA

You may also want to add some organic black pepper to the tumeric to make it work better. Also found something called MMS external spray for the scrotum. Gets to the epididymitis much faster instead of the slow by mouth method. Some essential oils work the same way but not full strength because it will burn the skin.

The turmeric sounds like a really great thing to do. I would also add food enzymes and take a hand full of probiotics first thing every morning on an empty stomach. Take this info and be happy you did.

About a year and a half ago my left testicle swelled up the size of a tennis ball. My VA doctor over the next 2 months had me on 3 antibiotics to no avail. I had been reading up on the subject as I am 61 and quite active bicycling and hiking. One of the many suggestions was the us of Flomax. The next visit to the Dr. I mentioned it and he was very receptive to the idea. He started me on 0.4mg once a day and it worked. Back in Dec 2011 I thought I could stop taking it. Wrong, in 3 week I had a major flair up. Luckily I still had some left and within days I was back to normal. Since then, on his approval I have started cutting back to one every other day and then one every third day. I had to go back to every other day as the problem started to flair up again. Since May I have lost 31#'s to see if that helps. I am currently at 198#'s. But still need the one every other day dosage.

Ok Guys Listen up. I got it a couple of times. The latest was at the end of May 2012. The pain radiated to my back. Dr. found nothing with blood work. He gave me a 21 day antibiotic prescription. THIS IS WHAT I CAME UP WITH. I did nothing to get this. It was not sexual. I did realize two things with me were present. #1). I was not properly hydrated. Hot weather and not enough fluids. That is never good for the kidneys, urinary tract, ect. #2). Using the toilet. This is where you may laugh but I believe this had alot to do with it. Going #2. Sitting down. When u flush the toilet the Tip of the penis may dip into the poop infested water. Bacteria gets inside and in a few short days PAIN. After hydrating and making a conscience effort to keep willy wonka clear of the toilet water I have not had anymore issues. Its worth a try. Good Luck.

My husband has suffered with this excruciating pain several times. Prescription drugs did not help, and sometimes the pain lasted for days. I filled a plastic capsule with turmeric from the grocery store. About 3 hours later I noticed he wasn't groaning and complaining about the pain anymore. He had another capsule 6 hours later, then another the next morning and afternoon. Pain and swelling are now gone and he is making plans to golf this afternoon. This is a miracle for him, as he as NEVER recovered so quickly.
