Doctors SUCK. I tried 4 different antibiotics... that was not the answer. I figure the detox patches suck the junk binding up the Epidymitis cord... making everything flow more freely... look, it's the only thing I can think of in regards to what it must be doing. I had a constant ache that is now gone. My urination is great. No more pain on ejaculation. Trust me, I have tried everything... this has worked for me.
