Objective: To examine patients with penile fractures who admitted our urological emergency outpatient clinic within 6 months from the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and to compare with the same period in 2019. Material and Methods: Patients who came to our urological emergency outpatient clinic during the pandemic period between April and October 2020 and non-pandemic period between April and October 2019 were compared. The reasons for admission to the hospital of these patients were examined and the diagnoses of the patients in both periods were compared statistically. Social life of patients with penile fracture and causes of penile fracture were evaluated. Results: During the pandemic period, the number of patients with penile fractures increased significantly. On the other hand, there was no significant change in the number of other patients. Conclusion: We believe that the number of penile fractures has increased due to the changes in the sexual desire and habits of the couples during the quarantine days.

Amaç: COVID-19 pandemisi başlangıcından itibaren 6 aylık süre içinde ürolojik acil polikliniğimize başvuran penil fraktürlü hastaları irdelemek ve 2019 yılı içindeki aynı periyot ile karşılaştırmak. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Nisan ve Ekim 2020 arasındaki pandemi sürecinde ve Nisan ve Ekim 2029 arasındaki nonpandemi sürecinde ürolojik acil polikliniğimize gelen hastalar değerlendirildi. Bu hastaların, hastaneye geliş nedenleri irdelendi ve her iki süreçte gelen hasta tanıları istatistiksel olarak karşılaştırıldı. Penis fraktürlü hastaların, sosyal hayatları ve penis fraktürü oluş sebepleri değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Pandemi süreci içinde, penis fraktürlü hastaların sayısında belirgin bir artış oldu. Buna karşılık diğer hastaların müracaat sayısında anlamlı bir değişiklik olmadı. Sonuç: Pandemi süreci boyunca çiftlerin cinsel istek ve alışkanlıklarındaki değişikliklere bağlı olarak penis fraktürü sayılarında da artış olduğu kanaatindeyiz.
