Bu çalışmada 10-19 yaş arası (ortalama 13.9) 959 orta ve lise öğrencisinde varikosel prevalansı araştırıldı. Asemptomatik sağlıklı erkek öğrenciler fizik inceleme ve doppler ultrasonografı (USG) incelemesi ile değerlendirildi. Fizik inceleme ile 298 (%31), doppler USG ile 308 (%> 32.1) varikosel olgusu saptandı. Fizik inceleme ile varikosel saptanmayan olguların 169'unda (%23.7) doppler USG ile varikosel bulundu. Doppler USG ile varikosel saptanmıyan olguların 139'unda (%56) fizik inceleme ile varikosel saptandı. Varikosel saptanan olguların 154'ünde (%51.6) sol, 25'inde (%8.3) sağ ve 119'unda (%39.9) bilateral varikosel bulundu. Yine olguların %75.5'inde Grade I, %18.1'inde Grade II ve %6.3'ünde Grade III varikosel tespit edildi.

Prevalence of varicocele in adolescence and use of doppler USG

Öz

In this study we investigated the prevalence of adolescent varicocele in 959 school boys, between 10-19 years old. Asymptomatic healthy male students were evaluated by physical examination and scrotal doppler ultrasonography. Varicocele was found as 31% (298 boys) and 32.2% (308 boy's) by physical examination and doppler USG examination, respectively. Doppler USG was positive in 23.7% (169 boys) on whom physical examination was negative. In 56% (138) of the boys, physical examination findings were positive whereas doppler USG examinations were negative. Of the boy's varicocele found, 154 (51.6%) had left varicocele, 25 (8.3%) had right varicocele and 119 (39.9%) had bilateral varicocele. Of the total varicoceles found, 225 (75.5%) were Grade-I, 54 (18.1%) were Grade-II and 19 (6.3%) were Grade-III.
