Epididymitis: I don't know what studies you have had. Recurrent epididymitis can be due heavy lifting with a full bladder which can push urine into the prostatic ducts and cause a chemical irritation of the vas and epid. Also can be due to an obstructive or infectious process in your urinary tract. If you are concerned you need to see a urologist. You may need to be on suppressive antibiotics.
