A member asked:

Urology if my doctor don't have ultrasound how the epidydymitis diagnosed??? with urine test ???

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

The same way it was diagnosed in the years before ultrasound. Physical exam and urine tests/symptoms. If I put pressure on the area/it hurts/you have a discharge and puss in the urine you have epididymitis. The US is a nice way to confirm the diagnosis.

Epididymitis is acute and rarely chronic. In acute the epidid. becomes large swollen and painful and is diagnosed by exam and history. Recovery takes a few weeks with treatment. Chronic is frequently misdiagnosed for chronic/ recurrent pain in the area. Tests should be done mostly to confirm a suspected diagnosis. See a good urologist who will do any required tests and urine if needed.
