Tekrarlayan idrar yolu enfeksiyonunda, atlanmış mesane içi yabanci cisim

Abstract

Üriner sistem enfeksiyonlarý, kadýnlardaki en sýk enfeksiyonlardýr. Bu enfeksiyonlar, daha çok saðlýklý ve altta yatan herhangi bir patolojisi bulunmayan kadýnlarda görülmektedir. Ancak tekrarlayan üriner sistem enfeksiyonu olan hastalarda, altta yatan anatomik, fonksiyonel bozukluklar ve yabancý cisimler akýlda tutulmalýdýr. Biz 3-4 aydýr tedaviye cevap vermeyen tekrarlayan üriner sistem enfeksiyonu olan postmenopozal dönem bir hastada, taný koyulamayýp atlanmýþ mesane içi yabancý cisim vakasýný sunduk. Tekrarlayan üriner sistem enfeksiyonu olan kadýnlarda jinekolojik muayene sýrasýnda mesanenin de deðerlendirilmesi önemlidir.
