Özet
Bu çalışmada Düzce ilinde ilköğretim çağındaki erkek çocuklarda dış genital organ anomali oranlarım belirlenmesi hedeflendi. İl merkezindeki 25 adet ilköğretim okulunda öğrenim görmekte olan ve rastgele örnekleme yöntemi ile 7-15 yaş arasındaki toplam 13420 erkek öğrenciden, 1534 erkek öğrenci çalışmaya dahil edildi. Tüm öğrenciler aynı hekim tarafından okullarında muayene edildi ve tespit edilen dış genital organ anomalileri kaydedildi. Yapılan incelemede 1534 erkek öğrencinin 104'ünde (%7,2) 110 patoloji saptandı. En sık rastlanan patolojiler sırasıyla varikosel, fımosiz ve inmemiş testis idi. Bu çalışmada bir çoğu ilköğretim çağından önce tespit ve tedavi edilmesi gereken dış genital organ anomalileri yüksek oranda bulundu. Dolayısıyla bu sonuç, gerek neonatal dönemde gerekse de sonraki izlemde çocukların genital sistem açısından yeterli kontrollerinin yapılmadığını ve ailelerin bu patolojiler hakkında bilgi sahibi olmadığını göstermektedir.
Introduction: The aim of the study was to identify the rates of external genital anomalies in male children who are attending primary school in Düzce. Materials and Methods: A total of 1534 children out of 13420 male students attending to 25 primary schools in Düzce were included into the study. The age range was between 7 and 16. The same physician examined all students, and external genital anomalies were identified and noted. Results: In this study, a total of 110 (7.2%) anomalies were identified in 104 students. The most common anomalies were varicocele (3.22%), phimosis (1.49%) and undescended testis (1.10%). Conclusion: The rate of external genital anomalies was found to be remarkably high. Actually, almost all of these anomalies had had to be diagnosed and managed before the school ages. Consequently, the results of the current study suggest that there is an insufficient examination and follow up during the neonatal period extending up to school ages. In addition to this, parents do not have any information about these pathologies. Such undiagnosed pathologies will cause significant psychological and urological problems in these children. They may also progress to tumor or infertility. Therefore, this observation should be regarded as an important public health issue.
