Hi. Thanks for the query. I believe your husband is diagnosed with epididymitis which is an inflammation of the epididymis. It is usually associated with back pain too. The standard treatment is antibiotics. If it does not subside with a course of antibiotics, its good to get an ultrasound of the scrotum done to rule out any other cause.
