Updated: Mar 14, 2021


Urologist in london

If you have impotence (erectile dysfunction) problems, reading this article will better clarify the ideas on the question: Andrologist or urologist In London for erectile dysfunction? Unlike women who are reviewed regularly by the gynecologist, men almost never go to the Andrologist or Urologist and as long as there is no need for a problem, they do not worry about it.


So … Andrologist or Urologist for erectile dysfunction in London?


Difference between urologist and andrologist


To be more precise and explanatory we are going to report both definitions of specialties:

  • Urologists are trained to treat diseases and disorders of the urinary tract and adrenal gland in both men and women. In women, urologists treat conditions that affect the kidneys, ureter, urethra and bladder. In men, they also diagnose and treat problems related to the prostate and male reproductive system. It is one of the few disciplines that combines surgical and non-surgical treatments, rather than having separate medical and surgical specialties such as cardiology and cardiac surgery. Urologists can further specialize in pediatric urology or Andrology.


  • Andrologists are urologists who focus entirely on treating conditions that affect male fertility and sexuality, rather than practicing a wider form of urology. This specialty includes the treatment of physical conditions that affect the genitals, such as the testes, as well as injuries and diseases that can affect fertility or sexual function. Health conditions such as heart disease, hypertension and kidney failure can reduce sexual function, so andrologists collaborate with healthcare professionals in those fields. They also collect sperm for in vitro fertilization, when reproductive or sexual ability is compromised, or perform vasectomies when reproductive ability is no longer desired.

An Andrologist is therefore a specialized Urologist!!!


The differences between urologists and andrologists derive from the choices of the individual doctor, rather than from an intrinsic difference in the specialties. Each andrologist is a urologist who has restricted his practice to a specific subset of patients. Urologists treat patients of both sexes and urinary problems and male reproductive problems.

Andrologists are the male equivalent of gynecologists, focusing entirely on male reproductive problems. An andrologist can choose to specialize further, treating only reproductive problems or only impotence and erectile dysfunction.
