Question 3

How often should you see an andrologist?

Accepted Answer

You should see an andrologist in case of the following diseases specific to the male reproductive system:

Male infertility. It’s a condition wherein the person is unable to conceive. Infertility can result from low sperm count, blockages that prevent the delivery of sperms, injuries to genitals, damage to sperms due to certain radiations etc.
Erectile dysfunction. Erection occurs when blood flows into the blood vessels of the penis. Insufficient blood flow to the penis can result from psychological problems, such as performance anxiety, stress, nervous system disorder or hormonal imbalance.
Premature ejaculation. The exact cause of premature ejaculation is not known. It’s thought to be caused due to psychological factors that include depression, anxiety, history of sexual repression, relationship problems, etc. It’s also associated with an imbalance of serotonin levels in your brain. Lower amounts of serotonin levels shorten the ejaculation time and vice versa. Whatever the cause, you need to consult your doctor for the correct diagnosis and treatment.

Peyronie’s disease. It’s a condition where there is a significant curving of the penis resulting in either painful erections or that may interfere with sexual functioning. It’s thought that Peyronies disease is caused as a result of repeated injury to the penis.
