What are the differences between orchitis and epididymitis?

Patient's question:

I recently don't know what's going on, my lower abdomen is very uncomfortable, and I'm not getting morning erections anymore. What are the differences between orchitis and epididymitis?

Doctor's answer:

Orchitis and epididymitis are two diseases, but they are closely related and can occur together. Their treatments are also largely similar. It is recommended that you use sensitive antibiotics for treatment. During the treatment period, sexual activity should be strictly prohibited, and you should rest in bed more, avoiding excessive exercise. Additionally, you should quit smoking and drinking, as these are harmful habits. All of these measures are helpful for treating orchitis and epididymitis.
