dc.description.abstractINTRODUCTION: In this study, it was planned to determine the micropenis prevalence in prepubertal boys referred to the urology polyclinic for any reason in a year and their referral causes. METHODS: Prepubertal boys (<12 years old) referred to the urology polyclinic between December 2014 and December 2015 were included in evaluation. Stretching the penis with a ruler, the length was measured along the penis dorsum between the glans end and root of penis in symphysis pubis. After the penis length was measured correctly, the acquired value was compared with the normal values for chronological age and values below -2.5 SD (Conventional measurement) were accepted as micropenis. RESULTS: A total of 227 boys referred to the urology polyclinic in a year were evaluated. Micropenis was detected in a total of six patients (2,6%) according to the conventional measurement and it was detected that three of these boys were referred to the hospital due to short penis, two with circumcision demand and one with retractile testicle. A pathology which could affect penis length was detected in 78,5% (11/14) of the patients referred with short penis. DISCUSSION and CONCLUSION: Micropenis ferquency in prepubertal boys was found high in this study. This result was quite different from previous studies on neonates. Therefore, studies in large groups including possible causes and post-diagnosis treatment phase would be more useful.en_US
