What diseases does an andrologist treat?

Andrologists are largely urologists in some circumstances, at least in Pune. However, depending on the condition or procedure, a patient may see other types of specialists, including surgeons.  Andrology covers a wide number of conditions and functions, including male infertility, penile problems, and genitourinary disorders. It is a part of therapeutic science that manages issues identified with men’s reproductive system. It very well may be considered as the male variant of gynaecology. 

Andrologists specialise in diagnosing and treating a range of male reproductive and urinary system disorders, including:

• Male infertility - Andrologists can address issues like obstruction or blockage in the sperm pathway, as well as deficient sperm production.

• Penile problems - Such as skin infections, sexual and erectile dysfunction, abnormal curvature, and cancers.

• Genitourinary disorders - Conditions like prostatitis, cystitis, urethritis, prostate enlargement, bladder pain syndromes, and chronic pelvic pain syndromes.

• Varicocele - A condition characterised by dilated veins in the scrotum that can cause poor sperm production.

• Erectile dysfunction - Andrologists may prescribe medications, recommend devices, or consider surgical options like penile prostheses.

• Male hormone deficiencies - Andrologists can evaluate and treat issues related to low testosterone and other male hormone imbalances.

• Male contraception - Andrologists can perform vasectomies, a form of male contraception.
