Epididymitis is inflammation of the small coiled tube (epididymis) at the back of the testicle. The result is pain and swelling in the loose bag of skin underneath the penis (scrotum). Epididymitis most commonly affects men between the ages of 19 and 35.
The epididymis connects the testicle with the vas deferens, the tube that carries sperm. In most cases, the cause of the inflammation is a bacterial infection that spreads from your bladder or the tube that drains urine from your bladder (urethra).
For heterosexual men older than 40 and for homosexual men, the most common cause of the infection is a urinary tract infection that spreads to the epididymis. For young heterosexual men, the most common cause is a sexually transmitted disease (STD); for them, the best way to prevent epididymitis is to avoid behaviors that may result in STDs.

Epididymitis is caused by spread of infection from the urethra or the bladder. The most common organisms involved in the condition in young heterosexual men are gonorrhoea and chlamydia. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) can manifest also as epididymitis. "Beadlike" irregularities along vas deferens are the characteristic sign of this condition. Other bacteria (such as Ureaplasma) may also cause epididymitis

Epididymitis is an inflammation or infection of the epididymis that is usually caused by a bacterial infection. Testicle infection is the most common reason for inflammation in the scrotum.

It's an inflamation of the epididymis. The epididymis connects to the vas deferns of each testicles. As far as it being STD related? Only a Phyisician can tell you that. Make an appointment with the Urologist or see your Family Phyisician.
