Abstract

Spermaturia can be used as an indicator of genital and sexual maturation in puberty. In this study the mean age of the onset of puberty in Tswana schoolboys was determined. Of the boys between 10 and 13 years, only one (1.22%) aged 13 had spermaturia, compared with 61 boys (88.4%) in the group 14-16 years. The mean age of boys with spermaturia was 14.95 +/- 0.85 years. The possible onset of puberty as calculated by the presence of spermaturia was between 14.10 and 15.80 years. It would seem, therefore, that from the age of 14 years, a boy might theoretically be able to father a child. The need for sex education at school is thus of paramount importance.

摘要

精液尿可作为青春期生殖器和性成熟的一个指标。在本研究中，确定了茨瓦纳男学生青春期开始的平均年龄。在10至13岁的男孩中，只有一名13岁的男孩（1.22%）出现精液尿，而在14至16岁组中有61名男孩（88.4%）出现精液尿。出现精液尿的男孩的平均年龄为14.95±0.85岁。根据精液尿的出现计算出的青春期可能开始时间在14.10至15.80岁之间。因此，似乎从14岁起，理论上男孩就有可能生育子女。因此，学校开展性教育至关重要。
