Diagnosis and Management of Andrological Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

Andrology is a relatively new field in medicine that specializes in male sexual and reproductive health. This field is gaining more and more attention since diseases and factors impacting male sexual health and fertility are becoming more common in males of all ages across the globe.

In this setting, research in the field of Andrology is in a golden era. Researchers are producing high-level studies with the aim of better understanding, diagnosing and treating all conditions that can deprive men of such important parts of their lives as sexual and reproductive wellness.

Erectile Dysfunction is the most diagnosed sexual dysfunction in elderly populations; however, the age of presentation is declining and nowadays, this dysfunction is increasingly common in young men. Overall, all sexual dysfunctions are more frequently complained about by patients and partners because the higher quality of life encourages men and couples to enjoy sexual wellness even at late ages or in cases of seriously debilitating diseases. However, the age of presentation of all these dysfunctions is declining and sometimes, dysfunction could only be a signal for a future or present hidden disease, such as cardiopathy or diabetes.

Similarly, the thriving research in the male fertility field is providing the scientific community with a new vision of male reproductive health with the aim of helping men and couples in their parenting desires.

With this Special Issue, we invite eminent authors to send original articles and reviews exploring the diagnosis and management of medical conditions related to sexual development, infertility, sexual dysfunction, sex hormone action, and other urological issues in males. A deeper understanding of andrological diseases can guide health practitioners in diagnosing, more comprehensively assessing and correctly treating affected men
