Hello
Thanks for query .Based on the facts that you have posted you seem to have infection of the Rt epididymis (Epididymitis).

The pain in lower abdomen is due to referred pain along the distribution of Genito femoral nerve .

Consult qualified Urologist for clinical examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Urine routine and culture.
2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis
3) Ultrasound Scanning of Scrotum .

Take antibiotics like Augmentin along with Diclofenac twice daily for 3-4 weeks .

Ensure to drink more water .

Ensure to avoid sexual activities till it gets cured completely .

Further treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis.
