epidydimitus causing pain in testicle ? Posted: 03-16-08 16:41pm
About a month ago I woke up one morning,
and my lower right abdomen ,and right
testicle were hurting. The pain was almost
like a groin pull so i shrugged it off for
a few days. Then all of a sudden the pain
stopped. I had read online that it could
be a small infection so i thought nothing
more about it. After a few days i started
noticing that my right testicle was become
more sensitive to touch and when i
urinated my right testicle would have
pain. I went to the doctor and he ran a
urine culture but found nothing and told
me i was just dehydrated. As i said it is
a month later and the pain when urinating
is still there in my right testicle but
that is the only symptom. I have not been
sexually active so it is not an STD, could
it be epidydimitus?

Epidydimitis would cause a lot of sudden
pain. Epidydimitis is a bacterial
infection, so the doc would have found it
through a urine test. Additionally, a
blood test may be needed as well as the
culture of prostate secretions.
Epidydimitis often causes fever and
scrotal swelling and you would definitely
know something's terribly wrong.
