Özet

Amaç: Kabızlık, çocukluk yaş grubunda sık görülen dışkılama bozukluğudur. Genel pediatri polikliniklerinin %3-5’ini, pediatrik gastroenteroloji kliniklerinin ise %25’e kadar yüksek bir oranını kabız hastaları oluşturur. Bu çalışmanın amacı kabızlık yakınması ile getirilen olgularda klinik bulguları, etiyolojik nedenleri ve izlem sonuçlarını değerlendirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Ocak 2006-Ağustos 2010 tarihleri arasında Fırat Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Çocuk Sağlığı ve Hastalıkları Anabilim Dalı, Çocuk Gastroenteroloji polikiliniğine kabızlık yakınması ile getirilen 192 olgu çalışmaya alındı. Bulgular: Kabızlık yakınması ile getirilen olguların %56.8’i erkek %43.2’si kız idi. Olguların %4.7‘sinde organik, %95.3’ünde fonksiyonel kabızlık görülmüş olup, kabızlık yakınması en sık 37- 72 ay grubunda görüldü. Bu olgularda en sık görülen yakınma karın ağrısı ve anal bölgede ağrı idi. Olguların %64.6’sında aile öyküsü vardı. Ortalama yakınma süresi 17.6 ay idi. Yakınmayı arttıran nedenler değerlendirildiğinde olgularda diyet ve fiziksel aktivite azlığı yakınmayı arttıran en önemli faktörler olduğu görüldü. Erken yaşlarda kabızlık yakınması olan olgularda tedavi sonrası yakınmanın tekrar etme oranı yüksek bulundu. Sonuç: Kabızlık yakınması ile getirilen olgularda organik nedenler dışlandıktan sonra yakınmayı arttıran faktörler belirlenmeli, uygun diyet değişiklikleri, hastaların yaşına uygun aktiviteler ve medikal tedaviler önerilmelidir.
