Brief Summary
The patients treated in our clinic for epididymoorchitis will be given scrotal shear wave elastography by the Department of Radiology and affected testis will be compared to non affected testis radiologically. Shear wave elastography is a method of ultrasonography, which allows the focused ultrasonographic wave to be directed to the selected tissue to produce deformation of the tissue and to obtain the numerical data on the tissue elasticity by measuring the speed of the wave when the tissue is recovered. The higher the wave velocity, the lower the elasticity of the tissue. The data to be obtained by this method will be compared statistically.

Eligibility Criteria
The patients who had epididymo-orchitis unilaterally will be called and invited to our department for elastography. The volunteers whose legal guardians accept to be involve our study will be involved.
You may qualify if:
- To be followed-up and treated in the Department of Pediatric Surgery at Trakya University due to epidididymo-orchitis. (Inpatient and / or outpatient clinic)
- years old or younger
- Approval by the legal guardian
You may not qualify if:
- Bilateral epididymo-orchitis
- Testicular pathology other than epididymo-orchitis (undescended testis, testicular torsion)
- Scrotal surgery (due to epididymoorchitis or not)
- Older than 18 years old
