Testicle pain

[BOB FIDDAMAN]

I went to my GP the other day and he examined my left testicle as it was
giving me some pain and was slightly swollen. He gave me a course of
anti-biotics and told me if the pain was still there after 243 hours I was
to go straight to casualty as I might have a Torsion.

24 Hours on I went to casualty but was told that it IS NOT a Torsion but it
is more than likely an infection?

How can you get an infection in your testicle?

I am married and have always stuck to one partner.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I can't remember the name he gave the infection - it was something like
'Eppidimus?'
