Abstract

Amaç: Kontrasepsiyon istenmeyen gebeliği önler. Doğum kontrolü eski zamanlardan beri kullanılmaktadır. Bu olgu sunumunda servikal kitleyi taklit eden eski moda bir doğum kontrol yöntemini tartışacağız.
Olgu sunumu: Akrabalarına göre 100 yaşında, ancak kimlik kartına göre 96 yaşındaki, bir kadın tenesmus şikayeti ile Zonguldak Bülent Ecevit Üniversitesi Sağlık Uygulama ve Araştırma Hastanesi Jinekoloji Kliniğine kabul edildi. Genel anestezi altında kontrollü bir şekilde 4x4x3 cm servikal kitle ekstrakte edildi. Rengi gri, yuvarlak ve sert natürdeydi. Muhtemelen 60 yıl önce doğum kontrolü için kullanılan bir balmumu parçasıydı.
Sonuç: Osmanlı döneminde, hibiscus kökü gibi bazı bitki kökleri kontraseptif bariyer yöntemi olarak kullanılmıştır. Ancak bazı Türk kadınları hala hastamızda görüldüğü gibi geleneksel yöntemleri kullanmaktadır. İstenmeyen gebeliklerin önlenmesi için, özellikle evlilik öncesi, güvenli doğum kontrol yöntemleri hakkında halk eğitimi verilmesi önemlidir.

Abstract

Objective: Contraception prevents unintended pregnancy. Birth control has been used since ancient times. In this case report, we will discuss an old-fashioned method of contraception mimicking a cervical mass.
Case report: A 100-year-old, according to her relatives but according to her identity card 96-year-old, woman was admitted to Zonguldak Bülent Ecevit University Health Application and Research Center Gynecology Clinic with a complaint of tenesmus. Under general anesthesia gently, a 4x4x3 cm cervical mass was extracted. It was grey in color, round and composed of a firm material. It was a piece of beeswax that had been inserted probably 60 years ago, used for contraception.
Conclusion: In the Ottoman era, several plant roots, such as hibiscus root, were used as a as a contraceptive barrier method. However, some Turkish women still use traditional methods as seen in our patient. It is important to provide public education about safe contraceptive methods, especially before marriage to prevent unintended pregnancies.
