Epididymosis

Epididymosis, also known as epididymitis, is an inflammation of the epididymis, a tube connected to the testicle that stores and carries sperm. It is usually caused by bacterial or viral infections, although it may also be caused by physical activity, injury, or other medical conditions. Symptoms of epididymosis include pain in the testicles, swelling, and sometimes fever. Treatment usually involves antibiotics and pain medication, and in some cases, surgery may be necessary.
