Tuberculosis epididymitis

2019-12-01 06:47:57
I have a small nodule in my epididymitis in left Testicle and it pains sometimes (almost once or twice a month) for which I was give 1 month course for antibiotics which did not respond . So my Urologist asked me to start Tuberculosis DOTS course for 6 months which he later extended to 3 more months . Now it has been 9 months Nodule is still there , Urologist is saying to stop DOTS as 9 months is enough but my Pulmonologist is saying to continue to 12 months . What Should I do ?? SHOULD I STOP NOW OR CONTINUE TO 12 MONTHS ?
