Objective: Male genital dermatoses include a wide spectrum of disorders. The aim of this study is to define the male genital dermatoses presenting to dermatology and venereology department. Material and Methods: A total of consecutive 344 male patients with genital lesions attending dermatology and venereology outpatient clinic were included in this prospective descriptive, observational study. Results: The most common diagnosis was condyloma acuminata in 132 (38.3%) patients, followed by scabies in 55 (15.9%) patients and fungal infections in 19 (5.52%) patients. Age of the patients (p=0.001), presence of regular sexual activity (p=0.046) first applied department (p=0.004), presence of associated symptom (p=0.001), extragenital skin involvement (p=0.001), duration of the disease (p=0.001), involvement site (p=0.001) showed significant difference between subgroups when diseases were classified into 4 categories based on the etiology as follows: benign conditions, infectious diseases, inflammatory diseases and premalignant/malignant diseases. Diseases were also evaluated in terms of way of transmission as follows: sexually transmitted diseases, contagious diseases and non-contagious diseases. Age of the patients (p=0.003), education levels of the patients (p=0.001), presence of associated symptom (p=0.001), extragenital skin involvement (p=0.001), duration of the lesion (p=0.002) and the type of the lesion (p<0.01) showed significant difference between these subgroups. Conclusion: Public education programs informing patients about sexually transmitted diseases will be beneficial in reducing sexually transmitted diseases.

Amaç: Erkek genital dermatozları geniş bir hastalık yelpazesini içerir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, dermatoloji ve veneroloji polikliniğine başvuran erkek genital dermatozlarını tanımlamaktır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu prospektif, tanımlayıcı, gözlemsel çalışmaya, dermatoloji ve veneroloji polikliniğine genital lezyonlar ile başvuran toplam 344 ardışık erkek hasta dâhil edilmiştir. Bulgular: En sık görülen tanı, 132 hastada (%38,3) kondiloma aküminata olup, bunu 55 hastada (%15,9) uyuz ve 19 hastada (%5,52) fungal enfeksiyonlar takip etmiştir. Hastalar etiyolojiye göre benign durumlar, enfeksiyöz hastalıklar, inflamatuar hastalıklar ve premalign/malign hastalıklar olmak üzere 4 kategoriye ayrıldığında; yaşları (p=0,001), düzenli cinsel aktivite varlığı (p=0,046), ilk başvurulan bölüm (p=0,004), eşlik eden semptomların varlığı (p=0.001), ekstragenital deri tutulumu (p=0,001), hastalık süresi (p=0,001) ve tutulum bölgesi (p=0,001) açısından gruplar arasında anlamlı farklılık izlendi. Hastalıklar ayrıca bulaşma yoluna göre cinsel yolla bulaşan hastalıklar, bulaşıcı hastalıklar ve bulaşıcı olmayan hastalıklar olarak değerlendirildi. Bu gruplar arasında hastaların yaşı (p=0,003), eğitim düzeyleri (p=0,001), eşlik eden semptomların varlığı (p=0,001), ekstragenital deri tutulumu (p=0,001), lezyon süresi (p=0,002) ve lezyon tipi (p<0,01) açısından anlamlı fark bulundu. Sonuç: Cinsel yolla bulaşan hastalıklar konusunda halkı bilgilendiren eğitim programları, cinsel yolla bulaşan hastalıkların azaltılmasında faydalı olacaktır.
