What Are Andrological Diseases?
Common male urological and reproductive system diseases include the following:
1. Inflammatory disorders of the male reproductive system, such as urethritis, orchitis, and epididymitis;
2. Tumors of the male reproductive system, such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and penile cancer;
3. Male sexual dysfunction, including erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, anejaculation, retrograde ejaculation, low libido, and priapism;
4. Sexually transmitted infections in men, such as gonorrhea, genital warts (HPV), genital herpes, and syphilis;
5. Congenital disorders of the male reproductive system, such as phimosis, redundant foreskin, hypospadias, cryptorchidism, and abnormal development of male gonads.
6. Other conditions within the scope of andrology include benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), varicocele, hydrocele of the tunica vaginalis, male infertility, and male contraception.
Andrological diseases are not a single illness but rather a broad category referring to all conditions treated under male medicine. It's important to develop healthy lifestyle habits in daily life. Avoid prolonged sitting and extended periods of cycling, which may lead to prolonged compression and congestion of the perineal area, resulting in poor blood flow to the prostate. Maintain a light diet, avoid excessive consumption of fatty or sugary foods, refrain from spicy foods and alcohol, and minimize irritation to the prostate gland.
If you suspect any andrological condition, please visit the andrology department at a reputable hospital for proper examination. Confirm the diagnosis through medical testing and follow evidence-based treatment plans—do not attempt self-treatment blindly. Additionally, pay attention to clinical symptoms, as accurate diagnosis often depends on symptom evaluation. We hope this information has been helpful. Wishing you good health and happiness!
