Elderly Stage: This is the period in which testosterone production significantly declines, erectile capacity weakens, and prostate-related conditions become more common. Regular andrological check-ups during this stage are crucial for maintaining quality of life and preserving sexual function in later years.
Applied Assessments
- Detailed Physical Examination: Comprehensive evaluation of the penis, testes, scrotum, and prostate region.
- Erectile Function Tests: Measurement of penile vascular structure, blood flow rates, and erection capacity.
- Penile Sensitivity (Sensiyometer) Measurements: Analysis of penile sensitivity and nerve responses, including age-related changes.
- Hormonal Profile Evaluation: Assessment of testosterone, LH, FSH, and prolactin levels to determine hormonal balance.
- Prostate Examination and PSA Screening: Routine checks for early detection of benign prostatic hyperplasia or prostate cancer.
- Urinary Ultrasound: Evaluation of urine flow, bladder capacity, and prostate volume.
- Pelvic Floor Muscle Function Analysis: Functional assessment of muscle groups related to urinary continence, bladder control, and sexual performance.
Regular andrological check-ups after the age of 65 are the most effective approach for maintaining both prostate health and sexual quality of life in older men. Early diagnosis and preventive monitoring help ensure the continuation of healthy andrological functions in later years.
