Introduction
Sexual health is a critical component of overall quality of life. Sexual dysfunction in men is common and often multifactorial, involving physical, psychological, and relational factors. Andrology offers a holistic framework for understanding and treating these conditions.
Types of Sexual Dysfunction
The most common male sexual disorders include erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, delayed ejaculation, anejaculation, and reduced sexual desire. These conditions may result from vascular disease, neurological disorders, hormonal imbalance, medication side effects, or psychological stress.
Diagnostic Approach
A thorough andrological evaluation involves detailed sexual and medical history, erotic testing, physical examination, laboratory investigations, and psychological assessment. Identifying the root cause is essential for effective treatment.
Therapeutic Strategies
Treatment options include pharmacological therapy, hormonal management, behavioral techniques, psychotherapy, lifestyle changes, and partner counseling. Andrology emphasizes individualized, patient-centered care.
Conclusion
Sexual dysfunction is not an inevitable consequence of aging. With proper andrological care, most men can achieve significant improvement in sexual function and confidence.
