Dr. Luo Yong
When seeking medical help for male sexual dysfunction, patients may choose from the following departments based on their specific conditions:
1. Andrology: As a specialty dedicated to treating disorders of the male reproductive system, andrology is the first choice. Doctors will conduct professional evaluations and treatments based on symptoms such as erectile difficulties or decreased libido.
2. Urology: If the sexual dysfunction is related to urological conditions, such as prostatitis or urethritis, patients may visit the urology department. Physicians will perform a detailed assessment and provide appropriate treatment recommendations.
3. Psychiatry/Psychology: Psychological factors are also common causes of male sexual dysfunction. For patients experiencing emotional issues such as anxiety or depression, the psychiatry/psychology department can offer psychotherapy and medication to help alleviate these problems.
Before visiting a doctor, patients are advised to consult the hospital's information desk to understand the scope and expertise of each department, so they can select the most suitable one for their needs.
