Epididymitis

Epididymitis is an inflammation of the epididymis, a coiled tube located at the back of the testicle that stores and matures sperm. This condition can cause pain, swelling, and redness in the scrotum and may be due to infections, often from sexually transmitted infections or urinary tract infections. Other causes can include injury or certain medications. Treatment typically involves antibiotics for infections, pain relief, and rest. If left untreated, it can lead to complications, so it's important to seek medical attention if symptoms arise.
