Orchitis, epididymitis, and epididymo-orchitis with abscess are caused by bacterial or viral infections. bacteria can enter the testicles and epididymis through the bloodstream or by direct contact with the skin. viruses can enter through sexual contact or through contact with infected urine or semen. the infection causes inflammation of the testicles, epididymis, and/or the surrounding tissues, leading to pain, swelling, and tenderness. in some cases, the infection can lead to the formation of an abscess, which is a collection of pus. treatment typically involves antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medications, and/or surgery.
