What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing testicular pain, swelling, or discomfort that might indicate epididymitis. It helps identify whether bacterial infections like chlamydia or gonorrhea are causing inflammation, and checks for other signs of infection in your urinary tract and blood. Many men use this test when they have unexplained testicular symptoms and want to pinpoint the underlying cause quickly.

What happens after I get my results?

You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your test results mean for your symptoms and overall health. These notes include personalized recommendations like whether you need antibiotics, lifestyle changes to support healing, or if follow-up testing is needed. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your biomarkers over time using our trends feature to monitor your recovery and ensure the infection has cleared.

What's included in this test?

This panel measures RBC, Squamous Epithelial Cells, Transitional Epithelial Cells, Renal Epithelial Cells, Bacteria, Calcium Oxalate Crystals, Occult Blood, Nitrite, Leukocyte Esterase, WBC, Protein, Ketones, Bilirubin, Glucose, pH, Specific Gravity, Appearance, Color, Crystals, Amorphous Sediment, Uric Acid Crystals, Yeast, Casts, Granular Cast, Hyaline Cast, Triple Phosphate Crystals (Urinalysis), Chlamydia Trachomatis RNA and Neisseria Gonorrhoeae RNA (Chlamydia and Gonorrhea Test), plus White Blood Cell Count, Red Blood Cell Count, Hemoglobin, Hematocrit, MCV, MCH, MCHC, RDW, Platelet Count, MPV, Neutrophils, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Eosinophils, and Basophils (Complete Blood Count). This comprehensive screen combines urinalysis to detect infection signs like bacteria, white blood cells, and abnormal cells in your urine, along with specific testing for chlamydia and gonorrhea RNA which are common bacterial causes of epididymitis. It also includes a complete blood count to assess your immune system response and identify systemic infection. Together, these measurements help identify the exact cause of testicular inflammation and guide appropriate treatment.

How should I prepare for this test?

You'll need to provide a first-void urine sample, which means collecting the first urine of the day or avoiding urination for at least 1 hour before your specimen collection. This type of sample provides the most accurate results for detecting urogenital infections. Results typically take about 4 business days from the time your sample is collected.

When will I get my results?

Your results are typically available within 4 business days after your sample is collected at the lab. You'll receive an email notification when your results are ready to view in your secure online account. The turnaround time allows for comprehensive testing including bacterial culture and RNA detection for the most accurate diagnosis.

Who should consider getting this test?

This test is important for men experiencing testicular pain, swelling at the back of the testicle, painful urination, or unusual discharge. It's especially valuable if you're sexually active and suspect an STD may be causing symptoms, or if you have recurring urinary tract infections. Men with groin pain, fever, or redness in the scrotal area should also consider this screening.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common symptoms include pain or tenderness in one or both testicles that may worsen over time, swelling or a lump at the back of the testicle, and painful urination or urgent need to urinate. You might also experience unusual discharge from the penis, pain during ejaculation, blood in semen, fever, or discomfort in the lower abdomen or groin area.

What is epididymitis and why does it matter?

Epididymitis is inflammation of the epididymis, the coiled tube at the back of each testicle that carries and stores sperm. It's most commonly caused by bacterial infections from STDs or urinary tract infections. If left untreated, it can lead to chronic pain, abscess formation, reduced fertility, or spread of infection to other parts of the reproductive system.

What should I do if my results show an infection?

If your test detects chlamydia, gonorrhea, or other bacterial infections, you'll typically need antibiotic treatment prescribed by a doctor. Rest and avoid physical activity, apply ice packs to reduce swelling, and wear supportive underwear. It's crucial to notify sexual partners so they can get tested and treated, and avoid sexual activity until treatment is complete and you've been retested.

How can I prevent epididymitis from recurring?

Practice safe sex by using condoms consistently to prevent STD transmission. Stay hydrated and urinate regularly to flush bacteria from your urinary tract, and always urinate after sexual activity. Avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activity during recovery, maintain good hygiene, and complete any prescribed antibiotic courses fully even if symptoms improve.
