The andrologist possesses numerous skills: he has an in-depth knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the testicles, epididymis, vas deferens, seminal vesicles, prostate and penis; can recognize and treat, very often in the first person, the pathologies that affect the male genital system (testicular cancer, erectile dysfunction, etc.).
Frequently, the andrologist makes use of the collaboration of other professional figures in the medical sector, including the endocrinologist, the pediatric surgeon, the oncologist and the neurologist.

for women, the andrologist is similar but not exactly superimposable to the urologist; the latter, in fact, in addition to being interested in the health of the male genital tract, is also concerned with the health of the urinary tract of both sexes.
