Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history barring it does not mention the most important thing- your age, marietal status and children you have.
IF you are married and have completed your family the only sure-shot treatment is excision of the epididymis and subject it to histo-pathology reports.
If this is tuberculosis - as is the most common cause, get a 9-month course of anti-tubercular treatment and you will be fine
