What Causes Pain In Testicles?

Hi, My husband for the past 2-2 1/2 weeks has had testicle pain. Finally after waiting and hoping it goes away he decided he was going to see our doctor. The doctor did his exam and concluded that he has epididymitis, and then proceeded to ask my husband about his sex life. I don t think my husband is cheating, but I suppose wives usually don t until it smacks them in the face. The Doc took a urine sample and said there was blood in it. Some other symptoms that he has are fever/ chills, nausea, and lower back pain. I read that these can all be STD symptoms.. They took his urine in for testing and we wont have the results back for a week. My question is, if he has epididymitis, is it possible that he can have these symptoms and it is NOT an STD, or am I being naive? EDIT: wow I have to pay for this advice?? Nevermind. Thank you

Epididymitis may not be due to STD. It can be due to other causes as well like Infection from GUT organisms, UTI causing organisms. Please avoid sexual intercourse or use protection during this period till he is completely cured of it. Hope have answered your query. PLease let me know. All the best.
