Background: Epididymoorchitis, a prevalent inflammatory condition that impacts both the epididymis and the testis, served as the basis for the current study. The primary aim of this investigation was to shed light on the various factors involved in the development of chronic epididymoorchitis. Methods: This prospective observational research involved a group of 50 patients who had been diagnosed with chronic epididymoorchitis. We designed a structured questionnaire and collected data systematically. The patients underwent comprehensive examinations, received accurate diagnoses, and were provided with suitable treatment. The gathered data were then analyzed utilizing SPSS version 20. Results: The most common age range for the occurrence of epididymo-orchitis is typically between 31 and 40 years. Among the cases, industrial workers accounted for a significant portion, with 15 individuals, representing 30% of the total cases. Pain served as the predominant clinical symptom, being present in all 50 patients, which constituted 100% of the total cases. Urinary tract infection (UTI) emerged as a relatively common predisposing factor, observed in 12 cases, making up 24% of the total cases. Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) was the most frequently encountered organism in urine cultures among the isolated organisms. Medical treatment was the chosen approach for managing the majority of cases, with 36 patients, equivalent to 72% of the total, undergoing this form of treatment. Conclusion: Finding a positive urine culture in 62% of cases could suggest an underlying genitourinary issue. Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) was the most commonly identified organism in urine cultures among those isolated. Notably, in our research, a substantial proportion of patients responded positively to empirically administered treatment.
