How Urologists Help with Erectile Dysfunction and Male Fertility

Erectile dysfunction (ED) and male fertility issues are two of the most common concerns men face when it comes to sexual and reproductive health. These conditions not only affect physical well-being but also have a strong impact on self-esteem, intimate relationships, and quality of life.

Fortunately, urologists, medical specialists trained in urinary tract and male reproductive health, play a central role in evaluating, diagnosing, and treating both ED and fertility problems. Their expertise helps men regain confidence, restore sexual function, and, for many couples, improve the chances of conceiving naturally.

This article has been fact-checked by Dr Chong Kian Tai, urologist at Surgi-TEN Specialists, Farrer Park Hospital, Singapore.
