Based on your description, it cannot be ruled out that there may be conditions such as orchitis or epididymitis. This is mostly caused by bacterial infection of the testicles, with the infection pathway primarily being retrograde infection. It often occurs in cases of lower urinary tract infections, prostatitis, post-urethral surgery, and patients with long-term indwelling catheters, leading to epididymitis and orchitis. It can also spread to the testicles through the bloodstream, resulting in isolated orchitis. The causative pathogens are commonly Escherichia coli, Proteus, Staphylococcus, Enterococcus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Clinical symptoms are mostly unilateral pain radiating to the groin, accompanied by fever, chills, nausea, and vomiting. The scrotal skin becomes red and swollen, with the testicles and epididymis swollen and tender, which may be accompanied by hydrocele.
