This book addresses and summarizes the main andrological disorders
(genital, reproductive or sexual diseases) that may originate in
childhood or adolescence. Since many of the andrological diseases
that occur in adulthood originate before the age of 18 and
sometimes even during gestation, andrological evaluation is
essential during childhood to highlight anomalies in the genital
organs. During puberty, evaluation can help to monitor growth and
secondary sex characteristics, and to assess e.g. the possible
presence of an eunucoid habitus, gynecomastia, testicular
hypotrophy or varicocele, a very common pathology in young people.
During adolescence, the assessment of risk factors, such as those
related to certain lifestyles, is of fundamental importance for
primary prevention. Moreover, in late adolescence the focus shifts
to preventing sexually transmitted infections, or to dealing with
possible discomforts related to the sexual sphere. Finally,
ensuring young people's genital and sexual health also means
protecting their fertility. Written by respected experts in the
field, this book constitutes an innovative resource, combining
updated, reliable and comprehensive information with agile
consultation in order to provide a streamlined approach to the care
of children and adolescents with such disorders.
