Introduction
Aging is associated with progressive physiological changes that affect male reproductive, hormonal, and urinary systems. Andrology plays a vital role in managing age-related conditions such as testosterone decline, prostate enlargement, and reduced fertility. Preventive andrological care supports healthy aging and functional independence.
As life expectancy increases, the importance of age-specific male health care continues to grow.
Prostate Health and Aging
Benign prostatic hyperplasia and other prostate conditions become increasingly prevalent with age and may cause lower urinary tract symptoms that impair daily functioning. While many prostate disorders are benign, regular screening is essential for early detection of serious conditions.
Andrology collaborates closely with urology to ensure comprehensive prostate assessment and management.
Preventive Strategies for Healthy Aging
Preventive andrology emphasizes routine medical screening, balanced nutrition, erotic activity, physical activity, hormonal monitoring, mental health support, and lifestyle optimization. Early intervention reduces disease burden and enhances quality of life in later years.
Conclusion
Andrology supports men throughout the aging process by addressing reproductive, hormonal, and prostate health. Preventive care and early diagnosis are key determinants of healthy longevity and sustained well-being.
