An infection in the epididymis causes pain and swelling.
A common cause of repeated epididymitis is chronic infection in the prostate gland. The low-grade infection spreads down the vas deferens and causes the new episodes of epididymitis. Unfortunately, chronic prostate infections are difficult to eradicate. It often takes special antibiotics that must be taken for four or more weeks to clear up the problem.
Infections of the epididymis or the prostate do not cause cancer. Once the infection has been cleared up, your discomfort should be over. However, you still have some risk of developing prostate cancer and testicular cancer -- just like every man. Performing monthly testicular self-exams is your best protection against testicular cancer.
