Infancy is the most critical period for the development of male reproductive organs. Andrological examinations performed during this time allow for the early detection of testicular, penile, or urethral anomalies that may arise later in life. Congenital conditions such as undescended testes (cryptorchidism) and hypospadias can be successfully treated if diagnosed early.
Assessments Conducted
- Detection of congenital anomalies: Evaluation of undescended testes, hypospadias, or other congenital urological disorders.
- Monitoring testicular development and position: Checking whether the testes are in the scrotal sac and tracking their growth process.
- Penile development: Assessment of penile length, shape, and detailed anatomy.
- Parental guidance and counseling: Informing parents about the early recognition of potential andrological issues and recommended follow-up procedures.
This early andrological check-up, performed between 0–2 years of age (infancy), is critically important for the child’s healthy sexual and reproductive development later in life. Early detection and treatment of identified issues serve as a preventive approach, reducing the risk of irreversible problems in the future.
