Is orchitis an std?
9 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Orchitis is...: ...Inflamation of the testicles. It commonly can be from a viral or bacterial infection, and sometimes, but not always, involves something transmitted sexually. I saw a kid with orchitis this week...It was mumps.

More commonly: Associated with mumps then std, but can be caused by std's like ghonorrhea. It depends what the source of the infection or inflammation that causes the orchitis whether it is associate with std or not.
