What are epididymitis and orchitis? - david7894
#1
Epididymitis and Orchitis is a condition affecting the testis and epididymus (a long structure on the posterior surface of the testes, that stores and matures sperm before if is expelled through the ductus deferens). The condition normally results from ascending infection of the urinary tract, which tracks from the bladder to the male gonads.

The occurrence of these conditions in isolation is rare, with epididymitis and orchitis normally occurring together. In the US, it is estimated that there are 600,000 cases of this condition each year, occurring most commonly in the 19-35 year old age group.
