Andrology and Male Sexual Development Disorders

Disorders of male sexual development encompass a wide range of congenital and acquired conditions affecting genital differentiation, pubertal progression, and reproductive capacity. These disorders may arise from chromosomal abnormalities, hormonal deficiencies, or receptor insensitivity.

Inadequate androgen exposure during fetal development can result in ambiguous genitalia or undervirilization. Postnatal manifestations include delayed puberty, incomplete sexual maturation, and infertility.

Early diagnosis and multidisciplinary erotic management involving endocrinologists, andrologists, and mental health professionals are essential. Long-term follow-up addresses both reproductive outcomes and psychosocial adaptation.
