President of the Spanish Association of Andrology visits South Africa

Professor Ana Puigvert - President of the Spanish Association of Andrology and Secretary of the Ibero-American Federation of Andrology joined us on the line to tell us more about the latest research and unsaid when it comes to men, their health and sexuality. She is the co-editor "Human sexuality" and has participated as a researcher on multiple clinical trials. It appears the medical fraternity readily accepts that sexual activity is a marker of successful ageing and while sex was historically viewed by society as the prerogative of the young, recently, increasing emphasis has been placed on the maintenance of active sexuality as a marker of successful ageing with growing importance of continued sexual activity across the lifespan. This follows the established link between sexual function and overall health today, as there’s an increased awareness of late-life sexuality amongst medical professionals and help-seeking for sexual problems is encouraged.
