Epididdymis

My Epididymis is swollen and I do not want to go to the hospital because my parents would have one more problem added to their huge list full of problems.The thought of me having this and what can happen in the future is more hurtful than painful in my testicles. I still jog for my high school track team and I do not want to quit since its my last year to appear in the yearbook. I do not want my parents to spend a fortune on me for doing something stupid. I have been abstinent for all my life. Is there a way I can get rid of this pain (not so much pain I can take it) without going to the hospital. Can I drink alot of water and urinate regularly to purify myself since its an infection from bacteria. Please someone give me advice on how to be my own doctor:(

I understand this must be painful, maybe frightening - however - being your own doctor is not advised and attempting to do so may prolong your suffering or make things worse.  Stay calm, speak with your parents about it - or at the very least - seek out the advice from the right person at school such as a school nurse. The sooner you do, the sooner you will be feeling better.
