Chills
Although chills are commonly associated with viruses and infections such as flu and pneumonia, they are also a symptom of epididymitis. This symptom manifests as feeling cold, sometimes up to the point of shivering.
Chills and fevers are the body's way of raising its inner temperature. By doing this, it creates an unfavorable environment for microbes and helps to fight infection. Therefore, it's important to stay hydrated while the body confronts the chills.
