The external genital organs were examined in 1822 male military recruiters from 2004 to 2008 in Beijing.The prevalence of redundant prepuce was 67.07%.that of phimosis was 2.36%and that of moderate to severe varicocele Writs 1.43%.Among all examinees 68(3.73%)recruiters failed physical examination due to phimosis or moderate to severe vailcocelel.We suggest a joint effort should be made by community health centers and urological specialists to check up genital organs of male youngsters,and health education should be provided in schools,so early cure would be possible and qualification rate of recruiters could be raised.
