What Causes Epididymitis?

Hello, my boyfriend was just diagnosed with Epididymitis, is there any chance it could be from having an STD? He doesn't have one now, but they sent his urine off to the laboratory and I'm just worried an wondering if I should go to the doctors to check and see if everything is normal?

Yes, you should consult a Gynecologist for an internal examination and blood tests as advised by her.
Use condoms till he gets alright.
