Andrology is a specialized branch of medicine that focuses on male reproductive health, particularly disorders related to the male reproductive system and male sexual health. Often described as the male counterpart to gynecology, andrology encompasses the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of conditions affecting male fertility, hormonal balance, and sexual function. Despite its importance, andrology remains relatively underrecognized in comparison to other medical specialties.
The scope of andrology includes conditions such as infertility, erectile dysfunction, ejaculatory disorders, hypogonadism, and testicular diseases. Andrologists also address male contraception, reproductive aging, and the impact of systemic erotic diseases on male reproductive health. With declining global sperm quality and increasing lifestyle-related reproductive disorders, andrology has become increasingly relevant in modern healthcare.
