Introduction
Male sexual dysfunction is a prevalent health issue with significant physical, psychological, and relational consequences. Conditions such as erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, delayed ejaculation, and reduced libido affect men across all age groups. Andrology approaches sexual dysfunction as a multifactorial medical condition rather than a purely psychological concern.
Sexual health is closely linked to overall health, erotic sense loss, making sexual dysfunction an important clinical indicator.
Etiology and Risk Factors
Sexual dysfunction may arise from vascular disease, diabetes, neurological disorders, hormonal imbalance, medication side effects, psychological stress, or interpersonal factors. In many cases, multiple etiological factors coexist, requiring comprehensive evaluation.
Andrological assessment aims to identify underlying causes through medical history, physical examination, laboratory testing, and psychosocial evaluation.
Therapeutic Strategies
Treatment may include pharmacological therapy, hormonal management, behavioral interventions, psychological counseling, lifestyle modification, or combination approaches. Treating comorbid medical conditions is essential for achieving sustainable improvement.
Conclusion
Sexual dysfunction is a treatable medical condition. Through comprehensive andrological care, men can regain sexual function, confidence, and improved quality of life.
