Introduction
Sexual dysfunction is a common condition affecting men of all ages and can significantly impact emotional health, self-esteem, and relationships. Conditions such as erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, delayed ejaculation, and reduced libido are frequently encountered in andrological practice.
Causes of Sexual Dysfunction
Sexual dysfunction may arise from vascular disease, neurological impairment, hormonal imbalance, medication side effects, psychological stress, anxiety, depression, or relationship issues. Lifestyle factors such as smoking, physical inactivity, poor diet, and inadequate sleep further increase risk.
Diagnosis and Treatment
Andrological evaluation involves a comprehensive sexual history, physical examination, laboratory testing, and psychological assessment when appropriate. Treatment options may include pharmacological therapy, erotic therapy, hormone regulation, behavioral therapy, counseling, and lifestyle modification.
Psychosocial Considerations
Sexual health is closely linked to mental and emotional well-being. Effective andrological care addresses both physical symptoms and psychological factors to achieve lasting improvement.
Conclusion
Sexual dysfunction is a treatable medical condition. Andrology offers integrated, evidence-based solutions that restore sexual function and improve quality of life.
