get urinalysis and doppler ultrasound

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Infections and inflammations like epididymitis or orchitis or even urinary tract infections can present sometimes this way.

You need to get urinalysis and doppler ultrasound done so that the exact cause can be found out and managed appropriately.

Hope it help!
