Andrology basics

Andrology is an area of medicine that focuses on male sexual health and urology. Treatment areas include: 

• Infertility challenges 
• Erectile dysfunction (ED)
• Libido loss 
• Ejaculation disorders
• Peyronie’s disease
• Low testosterone

Many andrology specialists offer procedures, such as penis implants, vasectomy, and vasectomy reversal, as well as hormone therapy for hypogonadism, also known as  “low T.”

At Kane Health, we focus on holistic andrological health. Our programs treat and prevent a range of conditions and symptoms while promoting your overall health.

Good candidates for a specialized andrology program

Almost anyone with a male reproductive system can benefit from a specialized andrology program. Factors that may make you an especially good candidate include:

• An enlarged prostate
• Cancer-related urological issues
• Congenital defects 
• Erection challenges
• Fatigue and low energy
• Frequent kidney stones
• Infertility
• Inflammation
• Libido loss or body changes, such as increased fat, that you’re bothered by
• Testosterone levels below 300 nanograms per deciliter (ng/dL)
• Urinary incontinence 
• Strong desire to preserve or improve your health and vitality 

While a general medical provider can often address many of these issues, a specialized program brings heightened skill, training, and experience, making way for superior outcomes. 

Teaming with an andrology specialist can also reduce the need for invasive treatment and lower treatment costs.
