If on women's health (including young women) speak and write more than enough, then the existence of a special "male" doctors don't know everything. Boys often do not know who to contact with problems related to the genital area.Meanwhile, 36% of boys of school age were identified disease leading to infertility. In this regard, all boys-school students, even first-graders, it is recommended to regularly undergo examination by a male doctor.
Growing pains
In the list of diseases that andrologists have to face more often, about 45 names from dropsy and hernia in neonates to infections, sexually transmitted diseases in adolescents. In infants often observed pathology of the foreskin and the penis, the older kids up to 5-6 years - the same hernia and hydrocele, sometimes at this age is found to have "loss" of the testis. In the next 4-6 years of any new diseases does not appear, only remain untreated at an early age. Adolescents are quite common varicocele (varicose veins of the spermatic cord and testis) and a cyst of the epididymis. Today, 11, 4% of children registered this or that pathology of the foreskin. For example, phimosis in its various manifestations, including functionally narrow foreskin. There are also various forms of delay of sexual development.
Tells Aivar Fayzulin, MD, a pediatric urologist-andrologist:
- Varicocele is not only common, but also quite dangerous disease: about a quarter of men suffering from infertility, got it because of varicocele. Occurs due to anatomical features of the body, most often due to the fact that the renal veins are squeezed. As a result, the blood stagnates in the testis, resulting in infertility. Notice varicocele relatively easy symptom is a sharp increase in the size of the left half of the scrotum in puberty. In addition, begin to Shine through a vein in the scrotum, a so-called "syndrome of earthworms": through the skin clearly emerges mesh veins.
Beware of infection!
It is also worth mentioning infectious diseases, which need to take care of boys and young men. For example, infectious parotitis or mumps. This disease can affect the gonads (sex glands). Developed viral orchoiepididymitis (inflammation of the testis and epididymis) in some cases, leads to infertility and birth of children with disabilities.
It should also be remembered that complications from the mumps arise in the course of the disease, and not after it, so the boy, who had mumps, except the district pediatrician and physician-specialist, constantly have to watch andrologist.
Another problem directly related to infectious diseases, is prostatitis. According to research, the prostate in children of preschool and early school age is possible, but practically does not occur, because his are the cause urogenital infections. The same applies to children of school age. If the teenager does not live a sexual life, the likelihood of prostatitis is extremely small.
Note
To 6 years, the boy should be fully disclosed the head of the penis, the testicles should be located in the scrotum, and not "hide". About 11-12 years boys voices change, appear secondary sexual characteristics (hair growth), increase external genitals, and often breast, nipples ache. Violation described course of events is an occasion to address to the doctor.
Parents should know that a large part of andrological diseases for a long time does not cause any discomfort. So, the only way to avoid many of the problems associated with potency and sterility, remains regular attendance discussed individually.
