What is the name of the male doctor

It is known that women, when symptoms and illness appear in the intimate sphere, turn to a gynecologist. But few people know who to contact a man with similar problems. What is the name of the male doctor? What diseases does it treat?

Diseases of the urinary system and genitals in men are treated by two doctors: an andrologist and a urologist. Andrologist primarily specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of sexual dysfunction, problematic erection and other inflammatory processes of the genital organs. A urologist treats diseases of the urinary system. Men can also consult a dermatovenerologist who specializes in genital infections.

Specialization of doctors

Most often, men turn to a urologist with their intimate problems. Although he cannot be called an exclusively male doctor, because the fair sex can also turn to him. A urologist specializes in diseases of the urinary tract and genital area. Women most often turn to him with kidney ailments and a problematic bladder, and for other intimate issues they go to a gynecologist. But since in men the urinary and reproductive systems are closely related, the urologist deals with both. This doctor is responsible for both systems of the male body.

An andrologist is already considered a narrower specialist, because he deals exclusively with men. This specialty has appeared relatively recently. Doctors-andrologists treat a huge range of diseases and perform the function of a urologist, sexologist, endocrinologist, urologist and even a psychologist for a man. It is to these doctors that both very young boys and elderly men go to be treated. Andrologist simultaneously specializes in the following medical fields:

• Neurology
• Venereology
• Sexology
• Urology

It is also worth contacting an andrologist if there is discomfort when urinating, incomplete emptying of the bladder, difficulty urinating. In addition, the doctor is responsible for issues of premature ejaculation, weak or absent erection, hypogonadism, scrotal pathology, prostatitis, as well as male menopause.

How is the doctor's appointment




An appointment with an andrologist and urologist in case of suspicion of a disease of the genitals will take place in the following way:




• The patient consultation begins with a survey. The doctor asks pressing questions, clarifies the patient's complaints. It is very important not to be shy and answer as thoroughly and truthfully as possible
• Examination of the male genital organ. An andrologist or urologist examines the penis, diagnoses the presence of discharge and abnormalities in normal appearance
• If infertility is suspected, information about the sexual partner is also required



After that, a diagnosis is made, and a male gynecologist prescribes medical or surgical treatment with further monitoring of the patient.
