General & Family Physician 's  Response
The cause may be orchitis or epididymo orchitis. Orchitis is infection of testis and epidymo orchitis is infection of epidymis and testis both. It can be of bacterial, nonbacterial, noninfectious, or idiopathic in origin. It is caused by either urinary pathogens or transmitted sexually.
Both these are very much curable by anitibiotics and anti inflammatory drugs and mostly resolve without any sequelae.
