Hi,

Welcome to Healthcaremagic.com.

I had gone through your question I can understand your concern.

As per your history and symptoms it seems to me some chronic infections or other condition rather than epididymitis or orchitis because these infections are acute with severe pain and mild to moderate fever associated with it. So these infections have been ruled out. But you can also take antibiotics like doxicyline course in consultation with your doctor.

You need to go for the investigation of vircocoel or even for epididymal cyst.

You can also check for the testicular reflex on pressing them if you feel jerk like response there is no cancer like issue then because if there is any seminoma or non seminomatous tumor testis looks like numb while pressing.

Hope my answer will help you and visit us back if you have any further assistance needed.

Regards
Dr Muzaffar Hussain Parray.
