The purpose to study the state of medical activity and analyze the results of targeted examinations of men working at an industrial enterprise, at various age periods.
Material and methods. An enhanced urological examination of 360 employees of an industrial enterprise aged 20 years and older was carried out.
The scope of the study included: a questionnaire, a clinical examination of the external genitalia, a rectal finger examination, a clinical analysis of urine and prostate secretion (PJ), a blood test for common prostate-specific antigen (PSA), a transrectal ultrasound of the pancreas (TrUS), a urologist consultation and, by indications, an oncologist.
Results. Determination of the PSA level in blood revealed pathology in 11.5% of employees. TUS revealed an increased size of the pancreas in 72% of the subjects. In 38% of the subjects, changes in the pancreas secretion indicated the presence of an inflammatory process.
Conclusions. The voluntary urological examination of employees indicates their concern for health. An effective solution to the problem of the genitourinary system morbidity in men is regular end-to-end medical examinations and organization of further therapeutic and preventive measures. The conducted survey not only shows the true prevalence of urological diseases at this enterprise, but also helps to prevent the diseases of the genitourinary sphere in men at various age periods.
Key words: urology, examination, age characteristics, recommendations.
