Overview
Andrology is a medical speciality that focuses on male reproductive health, helping with conditions like erectile dysfunction, infertility, and hormonal imbalances. Treatments may include diagnostic tests, medication, and lifestyle changes.
What is Andrology?
Andrology is a medical field specialising in male reproductive health, focusing on conditions like male infertility, erectile dysfunction, and testicular disorders. Established as its own speciality in the 1960s, and because of its proximity to the urinary system, andrology and urology often overlap. There are still relatively few andrology specialists, which is why many urologists deal with andrology-related concerns.
When Should You See an Andrologist?
You may want to visit an andrologist if you’re experiencing concerns about male reproductive health. Taking this step is a positive way to manage your health and address any uncomfortable symptoms. Reasons to visit an andrology clinic include:
- Erectile dysfunction or trouble maintaining an erection
- Issues with sperm quality impacting fertility
- Reduced libido or loss of sexual desire
- Testicular pain or noticeable changes
- Hormonal imbalances affecting sexual function or overall health
- Preventive care, such as routine exams to maintain reproductive health

What Happens During a Private Andrology Appointment?
During a private andrology appointment, you will have an initial consultation where your andrology doctor will review your medical history and discuss your symptoms, lifestyle, and any related concerns.
Your doctor may then recommend diagnostic tests, which could include blood work to check hormone levels, semen analysis, or ultrasound imaging to assess your reproductive health.
Once your results are ready, your andrologist will go over the findings with you and outline a tailored treatment plan. This plan may involve medication, lifestyle changes, hormone therapy, or further follow-up care based on your specific needs.
How Much Does a Private Andrology Appointment Cost?
The cost of a private andrology appointment varies based on the type of consultation and any additional diagnostic tests required. Typically, a standard consultation starts from £220, with further fees for specific tests such as blood work, semen analysis, or imaging services. We will discuss any additional costs with you upfront so you can make informed decisions.
For self-funded patients, you can make payments online through our secure payment portal, over the phone, or in person at the clinic. For those with health insurance, we work directly with most insurance providers to simplify the process, but we recommend checking with your insurer first to confirm that you’re covered.
