What is the difference between a urologist and an andrologist?

Urologists are medical doctors who specialize in treating diseases and disorders of the urinary tract and male reproductive system in both men and women. They diagnose and treat conditions affecting the kidneys, bladder, prostate, and male genitalia.
Andrologists, on the other hand, are urologists who have further specialized in treating conditions specifically related to male fertility and sexual function. Andrologists focus entirely on male reproductive and sexual health, rather than the broader range of urological issues.
Some key differences in their roles:
-
Urologists treat a wide range of urinary and reproductive conditions in both men and women, while andrologists specialise in male-specific reproductive and sexual health.
-
Andrologists diagnose and treat issues like male infertility, erectile dysfunction, hormonal imbalances, and genital abnormalities. Urologists may also treat these, but andrologists have additional specialized training in these male-specific conditions.
