What Causes A Lump In The Testicle?
My partner won t go and see a doctor due to embarrassment but he has a lump in his testicle and what feels like hardened tubes, also he cannot ejaculate a quantity of semen therefore have not conceived in our 3 years together, I have looked on Wikipedia and it sounds like it could epidiymititis but I don t know, any idea what I can do to persuade him to go get checked? He knows there s something wrong (reproductively) but he really doesn t seem to care that it could be something sinister or cause infertility.

Very true.
All such patients who know heir problems in advance are reluctant to go to a Doctor.
Hardened tubes in the scrotum can be epididymitis as you have correctly correlated .
This needs to be seen, examined by the Urologist or at least a Surgeon.
He needs to be checked for the possibility of tuberculosis as one of the most important cause of this problem.
Ultrasonography, FNAC. clinical examination and X-ray of the chest will help to get a proper diagnosis and a timely treatment can cure him and you can get pregnancy too
