Introduction
Sexual health is a vital component of male quality of life and interpersonal relationships. Sexual dysfunction affects men of all ages and often has significant psychological and social consequences. Andrology addresses sexual disorders through comprehensive medical and psychosocial evaluation.
Common Sexual Disorders
The most common male sexual disorders include erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, delayed ejaculation, anejaculation, and reduced sexual desire. These conditions may arise from vascular disease, neurological impairment, hormonal imbalance, medication side effects, or psychological factors such as anxiety and depression.
Diagnostic and Therapeutic Approach
Diagnosis involves a detailed sexual history, physical examination, laboratory testing, and psychological assessment when necessary. Treatment options include pharmacological therapy, hormonal regulation, behavioral techniques, erotic testing, psychotherapy, lifestyle modification, and partner involvement.
Holistic Andrological Care
Andrology emphasizes a holistic, patient-centered approach that addresses both organic and psychological contributors to sexual dysfunction. This integrated model improves treatment outcomes and patient satisfaction.
Conclusion
Sexual dysfunction is not an inevitable part of aging. With specialized andrological care, most men can achieve meaningful improvement in sexual function and overall well-being.
