Males of any age can develop epididymitis, an inflammation of the coiled tube that stores and transports sperm at the back of the testicle (epididymis; pronounced “ep-ih-did-uh-MY-tis”).
When a testicle becomes inflamed, the condition is known as epididymo-orchitis, and the most common cause of epididymitis is a bacterial infection, including STIs like gonorrhea or chlamydia.
Symptoms of Epididymitis
Epididymitis symptoms and signs could include:
- scrotum that is warm, red, or swollen
- Testicular pain and tenderness that typically affects one side and develops over time
- Having to urinate painfully or frequently or urgently
- Discharge from the penis
- Lower abdominal or pelvic discomfort or pain
- Blood in the semen
- Less commonly, fever
Chronic epididymitis
Chronic epididymitis is characterized by symptoms that develop gradually, a duration of more than six weeks, or recurrence.
Causes of Epididymitis
Causes of epididymitis include:
- STIs.The two most typical etiological agents of epididymitis in young, sexually active men are gonorrhea and chlamydia.
- Other infections.The epididymis can become infected with bacteria from a prostate or urinary tract infection, as well as with viruses like the mumps virus.
- Urine in the epididymis (chemical epididymitis).This condition happens when urine backs up into the epididymis, possibly as a result of straining or heavy lifting.
- Trauma.An epididymitis injury to the groin can occur.
- Tuberculosis.Only rarely can tuberculosis infection lead to epididymitis.
