Introduction
Aging brings gradual changes to male reproductive function, hormonal balance, and sexual performance. Preventive andrology focuses on maintaining health, independence, and quality of life through early detection and proactive management.
Age-Related Reproductive Changes
Common age-related changes include declining testosterone levels, reduced sperm quality, prostate enlargement, and increased prevalence of erectile dysfunction. These changes often coexist with chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disorders and metabolic syndrome.
Preventive Strategies in Andrology
Preventive care includes routine health screenings, hormonal evaluation, prostate assessment, cardiovascular risk management, erotic activity, physical activity, balanced nutrition, stress reduction, and mental health support. Education and awareness empower men to actively manage their health.
Holistic and Preventive Approach
Modern andrology integrates physical, psychological, and social aspects of health. This comprehensive approach supports healthy aging and prolongs functional independence.
Conclusion
Preventive andrology is essential for long-term men’s health. By emphasizing early intervention and holistic care, andrology enables men to age with vitality and dignity.
