Andrology
The word Andrology literally means study of the human male
(Andro = male; logy = study of). However, in clinical setting, Andrologistsare doctors who look after the sexual health of an
individual.
There are two main divisions of Andrology – Infertility and Impotence (now known as erectile dysfunction). Many
persons are shy of specialized ‘sex’ clinics.
It is for this reason that, at Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals,
Delhi we provide a combined service of urology and andrology. Perhaps the most
significant contribution of medical therapy (ie use of drugs to treat sexual
dysfunction) has been that it has got the problem out of the bedroom and into
the drawing room.
People now realize that sexual dysfunction is a disease like
any other disease in the body and that treatment is now available in almost all
cases.
At Indraprastha Apollo
Hospitals a very scientific
approach is used to determine the nature and extent of the problem. For
treatment, an entire range from counseling to medical therapy to surgical
treatment (including penile prosthesis) is available under one roof.
Thus tailor made therapy can be offered to patients suffering
from sexual dysfunction. Both male and female sexual dysfunction is treated in
an individualized manner.
Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals was also the headquarters of
Andrology India till recently. It is also involved in pioneering research in
this emerging speciality.
The faculty consist of some internationally
known names.
