Andrology is the specialty that deals with diseases of men, just as gynaecology deals with diseases specifically of women. But while a huge number of articles, books and lectures can be found on gynaecology, andrology is a small and not so well-known field.
Course
Andrology - Men's Issues
Description
This two-day course will cover both the western medical aspect and the classical Chinese medical view of male urogenital health. The anatomy and physiology of the male genital tract, urinary tract and endocrine system will be discussed in detail. Both from Western medical and classical Chinese perspectives. Attention is also paid to the rhythmics of male cycles and its relationship with the natural movement of day and night, seasons and climates.
The pathogenesis and pathology of the genitourinary tract are covered in detail and in particular conditions such as: erectile dysfunction, infertility, prostate problems (enlargement, inflammation and cancer). Penopause (or andropause) will also be discussed. Symptoms, differential diagnosis, treatment principles and methods of treatment with acupuncture and Chinese herbs will be discussed in such a practical way that they can be immediately applied in practice.
