What Causes Testicular Epididymitis?
Question: I currently have an epididymitis on both testicles, and recently have been experiencing erectile disfunction and arousal with my wife. Are these related to my erectile disfunction and arousal? I have not consulted my doctor yet but plan to this up coming week.

Brief Answer:
yes
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your query. Yes, epididymitis may lead to erectile dysfunction but this is temporary if treatment is done soon. Both are not directly related. ED is due to other symptoms of epididymitis like pain and inflammation.
You should not delay to seek doctor's prescription as it may lead to some serious complications like torsion of testes and sterility.
Hope i have answered your query. You can ask follow up if you have any doubt.

Thank you for your response. Will surgery be needed or is there a pill to remove the epididymitis?
