Andrologist in Bergamo: specialists in the diagnosis and treatment of andrological diseases

An andrologist is the medical specialist involved in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases affecting the male reproductive system. At Life Clinic, an outpatient medical clinic in Bergamo, the team of andrologists offers specialized examinations and state-of-the-art diagnostic tests to identify and treat a wide range of andrological dysfunctions.

The Importance of the andrological examination

Prevention:

• Early detection of disease: Regular examination can help identify possible health problems, such as testicular tumors, infections, or erectile dysfunction, early. Early diagnosis significantly increases the chances of successful treatment.
• Prevention of fertility problems: An andrologist can assess male fertility and identify any factors that might hinder it, such as the presence of varicocele or other problems. 
• Prostate Health Monitoring: Andrological examination is important to assess the prostate, which is critical to prevent problems such as benign prostatic hypertrophy or prostate cancer.

Diagnosis and treatment:

• Resolution of specific problems: If you are experiencing symptoms such as testicular pain, erectile dysfunction, ejaculation problems, or recurrent urinary infections, an andrological examination can help determine the cause and receive appropriate treatment.
• Management of chronic conditions: Some chronic health problems, such as diabetes or hypertension, can impact male sexual health. An andrology visit can help manage these conditions and prevent complications.

General well-being:

• Improved sexual health: An andrological examination can help improve sexual health and address any problems that may be affecting intimate life.
• Strengthening awareness about one's health: The andrology visit is an opportunity to openly discuss any concerns or questions about one's health with an experienced physician.

In general, an andrological examination is an important health tool for men of all ages. It is recommended to have a visit at least once a year, especially after age 40, or if there are symptoms of concern.

Urologic ultrasound scans: noninvasive diagnostic tools

Andrologic ultrasound is a noninvasive diagnostic examination that uses ultrasound to visualize the internal organs of the male reproductive system. It is a valuable tool for assessing the structure and function of the testes, prostate, and penis.

Here is when an andrologic ultrasound might be recommended:

• Fertility problems: If male fertility problems are suspected, ultrasonography can help assess the size and structure of the testes, the presence of varicocele, or other abnormalities.
• Testicular pain: If you experience pain or discomfort in your testicles, ultrasound can help identify the cause of the pain, such as inflammation, infection or tumor.
• Palpation of nodules: If a lump in the testis is palpated, ultrasonography can help determine whether it is a tumor or another benign formation such as cysts.
• Testicular tumor monitoring: If a testicular tumor has been diagnosed, ultrasound can be used to monitor tumor growth and response to therapy.
• Prostate assessment: Transrectal ultrasound can be used to assess the size and structure of the prostate, to identify any abnormalities, and to guide prostate biopsy.
• Penile evaluation: Penile ultrasound can be used to evaluate the structure of the penis and to diagnose conditions such as La Peyronie's disease or priapism.

In general, you should discuss the need for an andrologic ultrasound with your doctor. Your doctor will evaluate your medical history, symptoms, and risk factors to determine if the examination is necessary.

Remember that andrologic ultrasound is a safe and painless examination. It requires no special preparation.
