At present this can only be achieved by submitting all young men with acute epididymitis to full microbiological investigation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
A reactive hydrocele or secondary complications such as pyocele may be present. Orchitis, if present, usually presents as an enlarged testis, with altered echogenicity and texture. [sonoworld.com]

- Fever
A 74-year-old Japanese man was admitted to our hospital due to repeated right scrotal swelling and high fever with pneumaturia. A diagnosis of the right acute epididymitis was made. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Oral analgesics and antipyretic (fever drugs) are recommended. An ice pack used in the early stages helps prevent excessive swelling. [doctortipster.com]
Symptoms The main symptoms are fever and pain, developing progressively over several hours, in the back portion of the testicles. Symptoms include fever and chills, pain in the groin, and tender, swollen epididymes. [healthcentral.com]
- Perineal Pain
fever, perineal pain, urinary frequency, urinary urgency or painful/burning urination (from infection of the prostate, called prostatitis); fever and flank pain (from infection of the kidney, called pyelonephritis ). [brandywineuc.com]
If patients present with prostatitis-like symptoms (eg, perineal pain/discomfort), consideration may be given to proceeding with lower urinary tract localization studies, such as the Meares-Stamey four-glass test16 or the simpler pre- and post-massage [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

- Scrotal Pain
Scrotal involvement of HSP usually results in pain, tenderness, swelling or discoloration of scrotum. Scrotal pain sometimes mimics testicular torsion to various degrees, which can be followed by unnecessary operation. [chikd.org]
Scrotal involvement of HSP usually results in pain, tenderness, swelling or discoloration of scrotum. Scrotal pain sometimes mimics testicular torsion to various degrees, which can be followed by unnecessary operative indication. [pediatrics.or.kr]
Abstract In an 18 month period, 198 men presented with a painful, swollen, and tender epididymis or testicular or scrotal pain. Fifty were excluded from analysis because of prior antibiotic treatment or a history of the disease, or both. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The diagnosis of acute scrotal pain can be one of the most interesting and challenging aspects in medicine. [racgp.org.au]
- Testicular Pain
Overview of Testicular Pain Testicular pain, or any pain in one or both sides of the scrotum (sac that holds the testicles), should be taken seriously. Pain in the scrotum can occur in males of any age, including newborns. [wgurology.com]
Symptoms of mumps orchitis may include mild to severe testicular pain, swelling, tenderness, lower abdominal pain, fever, and chills. [healthcommunities.com]
Chronic epididymitis refers to inflammation characterized by persistent testicular pain in the absence of scrotal swelling. This condition is usually more difficult to treat and may result in long-term pain. [innerbody.com]
Bleeding into a testicular teratoma may cause acute testicular pain. [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]
- Dysuria
Also common are the symptoms of inguinal, flank, or abdominal pain, a reactive hydrocele, urethral discharge, dysuria, and sometimes fever. [clinicaladvisor.com]

- Swelling of the Scrotum
Diagnosis and Treatment In acute epididymitis, the physical examination shows tenderness and swelling of the scrotum, discharge from the penis, enlarged groin lymph nodes, and fever. [innerbody.com]
Symptoms Symptoms of epididymitis and orchitis can include: Pain, swelling and tenderness in your scrotum. Only one side of the scrotum is affected. Pain that at first is most intense at the back of one testicle. [drugs.com]
Pain, tenderness, and swelling in the scrotum (epididymides or testicles) that gradually get worse are the most common symptoms of epididymitis. [myhealth.alberta.ca]
- Epididymal Swelling
On ultrasonography, epididymitis may show epididymal swelling and hyperemia. However, a negative ulatrasound should not alter clinical management of epididymitis. [clinicaladvisor.com]
Acute epididymitis typically presents with symptoms of epididymal swelling, induration, and exquisite tenderness to palpation and may also be accompanied by fever, chills, or dysuria [1]. [hindawi.com]
Rarely, chlamydial epididymitis may be clinically indolent and manifest by a solid painless swelling resembling a neoplasm [27]. [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]
Types of Epididymitis Epididymitis can be characterized by the duration of the inflammation as well as the speed of the onset of symptoms. Both of these things can suggest what the underlying cause of epididymal swelling is. [verywellhealth.com]
Workup
CONCLUSIONS: A full radiologic workup to include a renal ultrasound and VCUG should be obtained in children with acute epididymitis and a positive urine culture, or recurrent epididymitis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Fifty-seven per cent of emergency room patients underwent scrotal ultrasound as part of their diagnostic workup ( P < 0.01). [indianjurol.com]

Treatment
Information regarding patient demographics, diagnostic evaluation, and treatment was reviewed. Adherence to CDC guidelines for the treatment of acute epididymitis was evaluated. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
Treatment and prognosis The vast majority of patients are managed with simple analgesia and oral antibiotics. [radiopaedia.org]

Prognosis is excellent. Acute bronchitis is frequently a component of a URI caused by rhinovirus, parainfluenza, influenza A or B virus, respiratory syncytial virus, coronavirus, or human metapneumovirus. [merckmanuals.com]
Prognosis With treatment, most cases of mild epididymitis and orchitis can be cured. There is usually no long-term effect on fertility, especially when only one side of the scrotum is involved. [drugs.com]
Etiology
Following determination of the etiologic organism responsible for epididymitis, the physician must turn attention to the treatment of underlying factors. If the etiologic agent is a sexually transmitted organism, sexual partners must be treated. [popline.org]

The authors conclude that further studies on the epidemiology, etiology and pathogenesis of this condition are needed. References [canada.ca]
Pathophysiology
The results support the theory of urethrovasal reflux due to a high hydrostatic pressure at the collicular level as a pathophysiological factor in acute epididymitis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

To the best of our knowledge, there are inadequate studies on this subject and they are mainly focused on the retrograde flow of the infected urine into the ejaculatory duct in terms of pathophysiology. [jsurgmed.com]

Prevention
Treatment of Acute Epididymitis The goals are to cure the infection, prevent transmission of the infection to others, and prevent infertility or chronic pain. [innerbody.com]
Prevention of epididymitis You can help prevent epididymitis by practising safe sex, and asking your doctor about how to prevent UTIs, if you get them regularly. [healthdirect.gov.au]
Preventing Epididymitis: Early diagnosis is the best way to prevent Epididymitis from becoming a problem. Since the inflammation is caused by certain STDs, avoiding sexual intercourse altogether can prevent you from contracting the condition. [womenscenter.com]
Prevention Epididymitis is usually sexually transmitted, so practicing safe sex is the way to prevent it. Safe sex includes having using condoms during sex and not having more than one sex partner. [stanfordchildrens.org]
