Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having indirect inguinal hernia developing instead of having epididimits.
Due to heavy weight lifting and strenuous exercise through weak inguinal ring hernia protrudes giving hernia.
Epididimitis can have due to some injury to testicles during heavy exercises.
Consult surgeon and get examined.
Ok and take care.
