Epididymitis Foundation Blurbs

The Epididymitis Foundation is a support and educational organization about epididymitis. Epididymitis is inflammation or swelling of the epididymis, which is a structure above the testicle that stores sperm.

Chronic epididymitis can be very disabling. The disease receives little publicity or research funding. Very few medical articles are published on epididymitis. The treatments for epididymitis, especially surgical treatments, are sometimes harmful rather than helpful.

The question: What caused epididymitis? Needs to be answered for every man who comes down with it. That's where things get sticky. Getting a diagnosis of epididymitis often comes without any explanation as to why it has occurred. On our forum, we hope to develop a FAQ about epididymitis that will help to explain what can cause it.
