hello sir,
Chronic epididymo-orchitis does present with recurrent pain in the testis.Secondary hydrocoele is also pretty common.Filariasis cannot be ruled out since you are in a endemic area.Its best for yourself to get evaluated by a urologist and physician to rule out all secondary causes
All the best
