Epididymitis due to STD is an acute infection that responds to antibiotics -- never chronic with recurrent or on-and-off symptoms. And it usually does not cause only a sore or tender testicle; almost always the testicle is enlarged and hardened, with tenderness to touch. Testing always shows gonorrhea or chlamydia. It sounds unlikely you have epididymitis; or if you due, not caused by an STD.

Symptoms from epididymitis vary from mild to severe. STD seldom leads to it if treated. Anxiety and stress can cause all kinds of symptoms. Your best bet is to wear a good support underwear, lessen your stress and if it persists see a Urologist. Inguinal hernias usually do not cause testicular pain.
