epididymitis - inflammation of epididymis
Definition for epididymitis
Epididymitis is a medical condition in which the epididymis becomes inflamed. This condition may be mildly to very painful.
more
Epididymitis is a medical condition in which the epididymis becomes inflamed. This condition may be mildly to very painful. Antibiotics may be needed to control a component of infection.
Epididymitis can be hard to distinguish from testicular torsion. Sometimes, both can occur at the same time. Tests are needed to distinguish chronic epididymitis from a range of other disorders that can cause constant scrotal pain. These include: testicular cancer, enlarged scrotal veins (varicocele) or a cyst within the epididymis. As well, the nerves in the scrotal area are connected to those of the abdomen, sometimes causing pain similar to a hernia (see referred pain). Tests may also include a physical examination and ultrasound. A urologist may need to be consulted.
