andrologic

Andrologic refers to the study and medical treatment of the male reproductive system and associated conditions. It is a subspecialty of urology, focusing specifically on male health issues that affect fertility and sexual function. Andrologists diagnose and treat a range of conditions, including male infertility, erectile dysfunction, prostate problems, hormonal imbalances, and sexually transmitted infections.

The field of andrology encompasses a variety of diagnostic tools and treatment modalities. These can include semen analysis, hormone level testing, ultrasound imaging, and physical examinations. Treatment options may involve medication, surgical interventions, hormone replacement therapy, or assisted reproductive technologies like in-vitro fertilization (IVF). Andrologists often work collaboratively with other medical specialists, such as endocrinologists, geneticists, and gynecologists, to provide comprehensive care for their patients. The goal of andrology is to improve the reproductive health and overall well-being of men.
