Andrology

Aims & Scope

Andrology is the study of the male reproductive system and other male gender related health issues.

Andrology deals with basic and clinical aspects of the male reproductive system (gonads, endocrine and accessory organs) in all species, including the diagnosis and treatment of medical problems associated with sexual development, infertility, sexual dysfunction, sex hormone action and other urological problems.

In medicine, Andrology as a specialty is a recent development, as it had previously been considered a subspecialty of urology or endocrinology
