Andrology focusses totally on the treatment of conditions affecting male fertility and sexuality. This specialty includes the treatment of physical conditions affecting the genitalia, such as circumcision, undescended testes, as well as injuries and diseases that can affect fertility or sexual function.
Treatment of conditions such as vasectomy, prostate cancer, hydrocele, carcinoma of the penis, erectile dysfunction, and penile fracture comes under the purview of an andrologist. Andrology is the medical specialty that deals with male health, particularly relating to the problems of the male reproductive system and urological problems that are unique to men. In other words, this professional can also be described as a gynaecologist for the male.
Health conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure and kidney failure can all decrease sexual function, so andrologists collaborate with caregivers in those fields. They also harvest sperm for in-vitro fertilization, when reproductive or sexual ability is impaired, or perform vasectomies when reproductive capacity is no longer desired.
