The primary manifestation of acute epididymitis will suddenly increase the patient's body temperature, swelling, and pain in the scrotum.

 

There is a sense of falling, which may lead to severe cases. The lower abdomen and groin are stretched and painful, and the pain will be significantly aggravated when the patient walks or stands. When the doctor examines, there is apparent tenderness in the epididymis. If the scope of inflammation is relatively large, there may be swelling of the testis.
