Andrology

The term Andrology is derived from the Greek word, Andros which means male. It is a branch of medical science that deals with problems related to men's reproductive system.

It can be considered as the male version of gynaecology. Andrology is a new area of specialization that has not gained as much popularity as gynaecology has. But in recent years, much attention has been given to this area of medicine due to the increased awareness about men's fertility and prostate issues.

The physicians who specialize in treating men's reproductive-related issues are known as Andrologists. Urologists, who specialize in male and female urinary system related problems, can also specialize in Andrology.
