Clinic Overview
Egemed Andrology Clinic: Center for Male Reproductive and Sexual Health
Men’s health requires a specific area of expertise due to the unique dynamics inherent in male anatomy and hormonal structure. Andrology is a medical discipline concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of the male reproductive system, sexual health issues, and hormonal imbalances (endocrinological problems). As the Andrology Clinic at Egemed Hospitals, we provide up-to-date diagnostic and treatment services focused on patient privacy and medical ethics for the management of male infertility, sexual dysfunction, and age-related hormonal changes.
What Is the Difference Between Urology and Andrology?
Urology and andrology are two medical fields that are often confused with one another but have distinct areas of focus. Urology is a broad specialty that covers diseases of the kidneys and urinary tract in both men and women (such as stones, infections, tumors, etc.). Andrology, on the other hand, is considered a subspecialty of urology and requires in-depth expertise in more specific areas such as "male reproductive health, sperm production, hormonal balance, and sexual performance."
Symptoms Requiring Andrological Evaluation
If you are experiencing any of the following conditions, which can significantly impact quality of life and mental health in men, we recommend consulting our andrology specialists:
- Failure to conceive after one year of unprotected sexual intercourse with your partner (suspected infertility).
- Sexual dysfunction issues such as erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation.
- Pain, swelling, or varicose veins (varicocele) in the testicles, or the presence of a lump or sore in the genital area.
- Loss of sexual desire (low libido), persistent fatigue, and decreased muscle mass (symptoms of low testosterone).
- Difficulty urinating, frequent urination (prostate conditions), and penile curvature (Peyronie’s disease).
