A member asked:
Is it normal for epididymis to swell up at times and then go away, could this be a sign of a blockage? how can it be diagnosed? worse when active
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not normal: May be a sign of infection, partial strangulation, or mass. Start with a good exam and then an ultrasound.
