At our specialist fertility practice, we see fertility problems as an issue that affects both partners - women and men. Andrology, or men's medicine, is therefore an important part of our holistic medical concept.
Andrology deals with the reproductive function of men, male sex hormones and sexual health. It is an interdisciplinary specialty that combines aspects of urology, endocrinology, general medicine, sexual medicine and reproductive medicine. The aim is to detect andrological diseases at an early stage and treat them in a targeted manner in order to promote male health and open up new possibilities for couples who wish to have children.
If the desire to have children does not work out, the cause may also lie with the man. Sperm quality problems, hormonal disorders or changes to the testicles or vas deferens are possible reasons. In our practice, we offer targeted diagnostics to get to the bottom of these causes. The results help us to develop an individually tailored therapy.
Male health problems can be very emotionally stressful. Fertility disorders, potency problems, loss of libido or hormonal imbalances are particularly common. These complaints can have a variety of causes, including diseases such as diabetes or arteriosclerosis, hormonal changes, certain medications, excessive alcohol and nicotine consumption or chronic stress. Psychological stress, depression or exhaustion also play a role. An often overlooked trigger for physical and emotional changes is a lack of testosterone. This can manifest itself through tiredness, mood swings, lack of drive, loss of libido or erection problems. As testosterone is involved in many bodily functions, such as muscle development, bone health, red blood cell formation and fat distribution, a deficiency can lead to long-term health problems. At our practice in Olten and Basel, we carry out comprehensive andrological examinations. These include sperm quality tests, hormonal analyses and imaging procedures such as ultrasound. We support you with all questions relating to male fertility, sexual function and hormonal health. If desired, we can also advise you on possible treatment options and lifestyle changes and offer medically supervised hormone therapies.
As many men are reluctant to talk about their symptoms, we attach great importance to a trusting, respectful and discreet discussion atmosphere. In a personal consultation, we take the time to listen to your concerns and work with you to develop a suitable treatment plan. Our experience shows that early clarification often opens up new perspectives - both in terms of health and the desire to have children.
If you have any questions about andrology or our treatments, we will be happy to help you at our locations in Olten and Basel. We look forward to advising you personally.
