Epididymitis is an inflammation of the epididymis. The epididymis is the tube through which sperm pass. The tube is located at the back of each testicle. Epididymitis can affect both testicles, but it most often occurs on just one side.
This panel will aid in the diagnosis of epididymitis.
Significant deviations from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.
