Abstract

AIM

We designed a cross-sectional study in order to determine the prevalence of inguinal hernia and penoscrotal abnormalities in the Lorestan province, situated in the west of Iran.

METHODS

We studied 3205 elementary-school boys, aged 6-12 years, who underwent clinical examinations of the groin and genitalia in 2002.

RESULTS

Abnormalities were detected in 213 children (6.64%). The most frequent anomaly was indirect inguinal hernia, seen in 78 children (2.4%). The other abnormalities were retractile testes in 39 boys (1.22%), undescended testes in 36 boys (1.12%), hydrocele in 28 boys (0.87%) and hypospadiasis in 25 boys (0.78%). Also, three children had micropenises, two had epispadiasis and another two boys had varicoceles. Ambiguous genitalia and apenia were not seen in the present series. Most of the parents were not aware of their children's anomalies (60.1%).

CONCLUSIONS

Education of the public and medical staff about these abnormalities and screening system are needed to improve the outcome.

摘要

目的

我们开展了一项横断面研究，以确定位于伊朗西部的洛雷斯坦省腹股沟疝和阴茎阴囊异常的患病率。

方法

我们研究了3205名6至12岁的小学男生，他们于2002年接受了腹股沟和生殖器的临床检查。

结果

在213名儿童（6.64%）中检测到异常。最常见的异常是间接性腹股沟疝，见于78名儿童（2.4%）。其他异常包括39名男孩（1.22%）的回缩性睾丸、36名男孩（1.12%）的隐睾、28名男孩（0.87%）的鞘膜积液和25名男孩（0.78%）的尿道下裂。此外，三名儿童有小阴茎，两名有尿道上裂，另外两名男孩有精索静脉曲张。本研究系列中未发现两性畸形和无阴茎症。大多数家长（60.1%）并不知晓其孩子的异常情况。
