STD Transmission to testes

If my basic anatomy is still of any use, it seems my 2008 vasectomy cut any direct connection between the urethra and the testicles. If correct, I don't see how my unprotected vaginal sex with a relatively recent acquaintance could be responsible for the swelling and discomfort I'm experiencing in my right testis.  The encounter occurred Friday night.  The discomfort became noticable Monday morning and the swelling by Monday evening. Tues morning the swelling is visible and the discomfort pronounced.

This absolutely no discharge nor urinary discomfort.

That testis has been uncomfortable since the vas was performed. It's always felt like it was too close to the body, never descending to the extent of the left or as it had pre-surgery.

That said, the timing of the significantly increased discomfort has me wondering.

Am I correct in my understanding that STD transmission to the testis in this circumstance is basically impossible?

I've also read this AM that infection from elsewhere in the body could play a role in testicular swelling/pain.  I've been struggling with a tooth infection on and off for months. Any possibility there?

I'm 58, hetero and have had 4 sex partners over the last 9 yrs or so.  Have never experienced this level of discomfort and never experienced any swelling in the past.

Thanks much for any input you can offer.

It is unlikely to be STD related.
