Many men can suffer epididymitis and orchitis now. As the symptoms of these two conditions may be similar, many people can’t distinguish epididymitis and orchitis. Epididymitis is more common than orchitis.

 
Epididymitis is an inflammation of the epididymis. Orchitis is an inflammation of testicle tissue. Mumps orchitis, a complication of the childhood viral disease, is the most typical cause of orchitis in childhood. 
 
Men have two testicles: one in each side of the scrotum. Each testis produces sperms and hormones. The sperm is stored and allowed to mature in the epididymis before it is conveyed to the spermatic ducts.
 
Epididymitis is much more common than orchitis. Epididymitis usually arises as a complication of an urinary system infection and is usually caused by a bacteria. The most common cause of orchitis in adult men is bacterial infection. In young sexually active men the most common cause is chlamydia and this infection is sexually transmitted.
