Andrology Service

We recommend consulting an andrologist for any alteration in sexual function (erectile dysfunction, premature or delayed ejaculation), difficulties in achieving pregnancy, persistent genital pain, suspicion of sexually transmitted infections, hormonal alterations, or if changes in testicular function or libido are detected. It is also advisable in cases of Peyronie’s disease, hypogonadism, or any doubts about male sexual and reproductive health.

The most common causes include alterations in sperm production or quality, obstructions in the seminal pathways, hormonal alterations, infections, varicocele, genetic factors, and history of medical or surgical treatments. Environmental and lifestyle factors, such as smoking, stress, or exposure to toxins, can also influence.

Diagnosis is based on a clinical interview, physical examination, and, if necessary, specific tests (hormonal analyses, Doppler ultrasound, etc.). Treatment may include lifestyle changes, oral pharmacological therapy, intracavernous injections, vacuum devices, penile prosthesis surgery, or psychological support, depending on the cause and severity of the dysfunction.
