| | Men who have epididymitis typically have unilateral testicular pain and tenderness; hydrocele and palpable swelling of the epididymis usually are present. | | | Swelling and tenderness that persist after completion of antimicrobial therapy should be evaluated comprehensively. | | | Although most patients can be treated on an outpatient basis, hospitalization should be considered when severe pain suggests other diagnoses (e.g., torsion, testicular infarction, or abscess) or when patients are febrile or might be noncompliant with an antimicrobial regimen. |

| | epididymitis |
| | It is an acute inflammation or infection of the epididymis, a structure that lies along the spermatic cord in the scrotum. | | | The germ that causes it is usually bacterial; we are not always successful in figuring out exactly which germ it is. The major problem with epididymitis lies in the fact that differentiation from torsion of the testicle can be very difficult. | | | Surgical exploration is often the only way to be sure, and must be undertaken very quickly to save the testicle if torsion is present. |
