Andrology

An andrologist treats erectile dysfunction, male infertility, low testosterone, ejaculatory disorders, varicocele, testicular conditions, Peyronie's disease, and hormonal imbalances affecting male reproductive health.

Not always, but persistent erectile dysfunction can be an early indicator of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or hormonal imbalances. An evaluation by an andrologist can identify the underlying cause and recommend appropriate treatment.
