Welcome to EmpowHER. Sexually transmitted infections STIs, particularly gonorrhea and chlamydia, are the most common cause of epididymitis. Boys, older men and homosexual men are more likely to have epididymitis caused by a nonsexually transmitted bacterial infection. For men and boys who've had urinary tract infections or prostate infections, bacteria may spread from the infected site to the epididymis.
It's important to speak to your doctor about this and explain the symptoms you are having. It might had been transmitted from your boyfriend and it's important for you and him to get checked.
