What does an andrologist do
An andrologist deals with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases related to the male reproductive system. The main areas of activity for an andrologist include:
- Diagnosis and treatment of male infertility
- Treatment of erectile dysfunction
- Treatment of prostate gland diseases (prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia)
- Treatment of hormonal disorders (hypogonadism)
- Prevention and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)
- Performing vasectomy and vasectomy reversal
- Removal of tumors and neoplasms of the genitourinary system
The difference between a urologist and a urologist-andrologist
Urologists and urologist-andrologists have similar areas of specialization, but their functions and responsibilities differ somewhat:
- Urologist: Specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the genitourinary system in men and women. A urologist treats diseases of the kidneys, bladder, ureters, and also performs surgical treatment of genitourinary pathologies.
- Urologist-andrologist: Specializes exclusively in the male reproductive system and related diseases. A urologist-andrologist possesses in-depth knowledge in the field of male infertility, erectile dysfunction, and hormonal disorders.
When a consultation with an andrologist is required
Consultation with an andrologist is necessary for the following symptoms and conditions:
- Problems conceiving a child (infertility)
- Erection disorders and decreased libido
- Pain, burning, or discomfort in the area of the testicles, scrotum, or penis
- Changes in the structure or size of the testicles
- Discharge from the urethra, rash, or ulcers on the genitals
- Problems with urination (pain, frequent urination, nighttime urges)
- Hormonal disorders (hypogonadism, low testosterone levels)
- Suspicion of sexually transmitted infections (STDs)
These symptoms do not indicate a lack of male strength at all, but rather the need for a urological examination.
Furthermore, it is recommended for a man to visit a urologist-andrologist in the case where the couple is just planning a pregnancy. Timely examination of the man’s genitourinary system health will help avoid unpleasant surprises during the child planning process.
What to bring to the appointment
For a urologist-andrologist consultation, it is recommended to prepare the following documents and items:
- Passport or other identity document
- Medical record and results of previous examinations and tests
- List of medications being taken and their dosages
- Questions and complaints you wish to discuss with the doctor
How an appointment with a urologist-andrologist at the reproductive center proceeds
- History taking: The doctor listens to the patient’s complaints, asks questions about symptoms, lifestyle, reproductive history, and medical history.
- Physical examination: The doctor conducts an examination of the genitals, palpation of the testicles, and checks the prostate gland via a digital rectal exam.
- Prescription of tests: Depending on the symptoms and examination results, the doctor may prescribe additional tests, such as blood tests for hormones, semen analysis, ultrasound of the scrotum and prostate, genetic tests, and tests for infections.
- Consultation and recommendations: After receiving the results of the examinations, the doctor makes a diagnosis and suggests a treatment plan or further observation.

How to have a semen analysis at IMC
