Can trauma cause epididymitis?

Patient's question:

Patient's verbal report: Struck out over 20 meters in a car accident, right leg with comminuted fracture. Lying flat after admission, experiencing pain in the left testicle during urination.
Observation: The skin of the left testicle is intact, with significant redness and swelling (varicocele).
Ultrasound: Left epididymitis.
Question: I have not found any relevant information regarding whether trauma can cause epididymitis.
I hope you can provide the name of relevant references. Thank you!

Doctor's answer:

Hello: Trauma can lead to epididymitis. Treatment for varicocele:
For those without symptoms or with mild symptoms, wearing elastic pants or using a scrotal support band can be effective. Men with severe symptoms and varicocele accompanied by abnormal sperm, who are infertile, should undergo surgical treatment.
