What Are Epididymitis and Orchitis?
Epididymitis is the inflammation of the epididymis, the coiled tube behind the testicle that stores and carries sperm.
Orchitis is inflammation of one or both testicles, which may occur alone or in combination with epididymitis (called epididymo-orchitis).
These conditions can be acute or chronic, and are typically caused by infections or sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in adolescents and adults.
Causes
Bacterial infections, including urinary tract infections (UTIs) or prostatitis
STDs such as chlamydia and gonorrhea
Mumps virus (particularly in post-pubertal boys)
Trauma or injury to the groin
Use of a urinary catheter or surgery involving the urinary tract
Symptoms
Sudden or gradual scrotal pain
Swelling and redness of the testicle
Tenderness in the groin or lower abdomen
Painful urination or ejaculation
Fever and chills
Discharge from the penis (in STD-related cases)
Lump in the testicle or a feeling of heaviness
