Epididymitis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Epididymitis is the inflammation of the epididymis, a structure located behind the testicle that takes part in the storage and maturation of sperm. It can present in an acute or more prolonged form and usually affects one side.
Common symptoms: Pain and swelling in the scrotum, redness, a sensation of warmth in the area, and, at times, discomfort when urinating.
Common causes: It is often related to infections, though there are other factors that can cause the inflammation.
Which specialist treats it? The urologist is the go-to professional for conditions of the male genital and urinary system; the clinical laboratory scientist and the pathologist provide support with the necessary tests. With pain or swelling in the scrotum, especially if it appears suddenly, the prudent course is to see a professional without putting off the visit.
