A member asked:
Hi, i am tacking antibiotics for epididymitis but i am not sure if it is infection or not. few days ago i did some heavy lifting and felt back pain in day and in night i felt pain in testicles. i read that epididymitis can caused by heavy lifting ?

Epididymitis: Long ago (decades), it was thought that straining with heavy lifting could cause testicular pain and swelling. With modern medical science we now know epididymitis is not caused by physical strain. Most cases are due to infection (at your age, usually an STD). But back and testicular pain -- without major testicular swelling -- rarely is epididymitis. Work with your doctor about other causes.
