Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Orchitis is an acute inflammation or infection of the testes. It most commonly occurs as a complication of a systemic illness or as an extension of a genitourinary infection, such as epididymitis. Priapism, hydrocele, and spermatocele are conditions of the male reproductive system but are not associated with the presence of an infectious condition.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3
In men older than 35, epididymitis is usually associated with a urinary tract infection or prostatitis. Men who practice unprotected anal intercourse may acquire sexually transmitted epididymitis. Urethritis, not epididymitis, would be consistent with gonorrhea. Congenital disorders are not associated with epididymitis.
