A member asked:

Can eppidymitis cause the penis to retract in to the body occasionally? what r the diagnostic tests available?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Epididymitis is a clinical diagnosis with symptoms such as swelling of the testicle/epididymis, tenderness to the touch, fevers/chills, etc. A scrotal ultrasound and blood work are helpful but not necessary. A course of antibiotics usually will take care of the problem.
