Introduction
Sexual health is a critical component of male well-being and interpersonal relationships. Sexual dysfunction affects men across all age groups and often reflects underlying medical or psychological conditions. Andrology addresses sexual dysfunction through a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach.
Common Sexual Disorders
The most common sexual disorders encountered in andrology include erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, delayed ejaculation, anejaculation, and hypoactive sexual desire disorder. These conditions may result from vascular disease, neurological impairment, hormonal imbalance, medication side effects, or psychological factors.
Diagnostic Evaluation
Assessment involves detailed sexual history, physical examination, laboratory testing, and psychological screening when appropriate. Identifying underlying causes is essential for effective treatment.
Treatment Modalities
Treatment options include pharmacological therapy, hormonal regulation, erotic analysis, behavioral therapy, psychotherapy, lifestyle changes, and couples counseling. A personalized approach yields the best outcomes.
Conclusion
Sexual dysfunction is not an inevitable part of aging. With proper andrological care, most men can achieve significant improvement in sexual health and quality of life.
