The medical specialty that deals with male health especially focusing on the male reproductive system and urological problems is referred to as andrology. It is the counterpart to gynecology which deals with female reproductive and urologic health. Andrology encompasses anomalies in the connective tissues pertaining to the genitalia and changes in the volume of cells such as in genital hypertrophy or macrogenitosomia. It is also concerned with reproductive and urologic male-specific medical and surgical procedures such as vasectomy, vasovasostomy, orchidopexy and circumcision. It also undertakes the treatment of male genitourinary disorders such as balanitis, erectile dysfunction, infertility, micropenis, penile fracture, prostate fracture, spermatocele and testicular cancer. This book elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments in relation to andrology. Different approaches, evaluations, methodologies, and advanced studies on this topic have been included in it. This book will serve as a reference to a broad spectrum of readers.
