Swollen Epididymis

From the Mayo Clinic: “Epididymitis is an inflammation of the coiled tube (epididymis) at the back of the testicle that stores and carries sperm. Males of any age can get epididymitis. Epididymitis is most often caused by a bacterial infection, including sexually transmitted infections (STIs), such as gonorrhea or chlamydia. Sometimes, a testicle also may become inflamed — a condition called epididymo-orchitis.” I was believed to have had a bout of this when I was about 35. I’m fifty now. The most likely cause in my case was Trauma - my wife had my balls in her mouth and may have come down too hard. I also had some weight gain, and too tight clothes may have put some pressure on my balls. Anyway, when I wear a device for a few days, it get some of the epididymis swelling described above. After my previous experience, which was painful, wearing the device can make me a bit concerned. When out of the device for a few days, everything gets back to normal. I’m in a pretty tight 40mm (1.5 inch) ring. This seems to work best to keep the device in a good spot and avoid excessive motion, which causes hot spots under the ring at 11:00 and 1:00 o’clock positions. Thought, experience, with your internal cords swelling up a bit?
