Signs and symptoms of orchitis include testicular and scrotal pain and tenderness and infertility. This type of orchitis is called epididymo-orchitis. Sexually transmitted infections, such as gonorrhea and chlamydia, can both lead to orchitis when they cause epididymitis (an infection of the epididymis), which in turn can lead to orchitis.
