===Pathogenesis=== *'''Orchitis (especially bacterial) usually occurs with epididymitis (secondary to local spread of an ipsilateral epididymitis) and are referred to as epididymo-orchitis.''' **'''In boys and elderly men, UTIs ('''including E. coli and Pseudomonas''') are usually the underlying source.''' **'''In young sexually active men, sexually transmitted diseases are often responsible''' **'''Isolated orchitis without epididymitis is a relatively rare condition and is usually viral in origin, which spreads to the testis by a hematogenous route)''' **Mycobacterial infections, tuberculosis, and BCG therapy can also cause orchitis *'''The process is usually unilateral; however, sometimes bilateral, especially if viral'''
