See details: The cause of epididymitis is usually a bacterial infection and the responsible bacteria are usually identified in about 80% of cases.Two main groups of organisms cause most cases of epididymitis: sexually transmitted organisms and coliforms. Antibiotics are often required for this infection. Viruses and some medications can be the causes and no antibiotics would be needed then.
