Abstract

Urinary system infections are the most common infections in women. These infections are most seen in healthy women. However in patients with recurrent urinary system infection, anatomical, functional pathologies and foreign bodies must be kept in mind. We reported a foreign body in urinary bladder case that had overlooked in a postmenopausal patient who has recurrent urinary system infection and doesnt respond medical treatment for 3-4 months. During gynecological examination urinary bladder evaluation is very important in patients with recurrent urinary system infection.

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.
