EPIDIDYMITIS

Was diagnosed with it earlier this month (June '26.) not so sure if the weakness and dizzyness are regular symptoms or not, but swelling and sensitivity were DEFINITELY part of it. It is a common but non-specific infection of the didymus, a vessel that runs between the groin to the testes, causing pain, discomfort and swelling of the testes. If I was told correctly, it occurs somewhat frequently in older males which is why it is considered common; non-specific because it can be caused via various reasons/conditions such as incontenance, UTIs, etc, but is NOT considered an STD/STI. In my case, it is theorised to be related to prostate cancer issues (in '23, I recieved radiation treatments for prostate cancer.) Prescribed an antibiotic for the infection, treated swelling and sensitivity with icing,...and gentle handling of my balls when being examined by and displaying them to the female doctors. Was hospitalized for like 3 days before they sent me home with meds. For a few days, I was walking slow and carefully. Eventually, the discomfort eased up and the swelling went down, but the skin of my ball sack is still slightly stretched, but that's not an issue to me as long as I'm feeling better.

Just wanted to share this bit of info with the group. Has anyone else experienced this condition, or any other condition where you had to show your stuff to female doctors and nursing staff?
