WHAT DOES ANDROLOGY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Andrology

Andrology is the medical specialty that deals with male health, particularly relating to the problems of the male reproductive system and urological problems that are unique to men. It is also known as "The science of Men". It is the counterpart to gynaecology, which deals with medical issues which are specific to the female reproductive system. Andrology has only been studied as a distinct specialty since the late 1960s: the first specialist journal on the subject was the German periodical Andrologie, published from 1969 onwards. Male-specific medical and surgical procedures include vasectomy and vasovasostomy as well as intervention to deal with male genitourinary disorders such as the following: Human Male Anatomy ▪ balanitis ▪ carcinoma of the penis ▪ cryptorchidism ▪ epididymitis ▪ epispadias ▪ erectile dysfunction ▪ frenulum breve ▪ hydrocele ▪ hypospadias ▪ infertility ▪ micropenis ▪ orchitis ▪ paraphimosis ▪ penile fracture ▪ Peyronie's disease ▪ phimosis ▪ priapism ▪ prostate cancer ▪ prostatitis ▪ spermatocele ▪ testicular cancer ▪ testicular torsion ▪ varicocele ▪ retrograde ejaculation...
