Late adulthood is the stage in men’s lives when testosterone production tends to decline, metabolic changes in the penis may begin, and prostate enlargement can start. Regular andrological check-ups during this period are crucial for maintaining both sexual function and prostate health.
Evaluations Performed
- Detailed physical examination: General assessment of the penis, testes, and scrotal structures.
- Erectile function tests: Evaluation of erection quality, penile blood flow, and vascular structure.
- Penile sensiometer sensory measurements: Assessment of nerve sensitivity in the penis and overall neurological penile reflexes.
- Hormone profile analysis: Measurement of testosterone, LH, FSH, and prolactin levels according to age.
- Prostate examination and PSA screening: Routine checks for early detection of prostate enlargement or prostate cancer.
- Urinary system ultrasonography: Evaluation of bladder and prostate volume, urine flow, and kidney function.
- Sexually transmitted infection (STI) screening: Particularly for patients with a history of recurrent infections, including education and guidance.
Andrological check-ups performed during this period help preserve prostate health and allow for early intervention against erectile dysfunction and hormonal imbalances.
