(ANSA) - ROME, JUN 15 - The andrologist, this unknown: the majority of Italian boys have never been examined by a male health expert, yet between the ages of 14 and 20, one out of three already has andrological pathologies with repercussions on fertility in a case out of ten.
To raise awareness of the very young, the 'Love without obstacles' campaign of the Italian Society of Andrology (Sia) starts, which for the next school year, until June 2023, will bring andrologists to 100 schools in the country.
10,000 teenagers will be involved in meetings to talk about andrological diseases, rules of prevention and how to take care of sexual health without falling into the trap of fake news.
"Only 2% of young people control - underlines Alessandro Palmieri, president of Sia - the prevention must begin with
adolescence, problems that are not real pathologies must be identified to be dealt with avoiding consequences as in the case of varicocele and the risk of infertility.
The campaign aims to make young people understand that they can turn to the andrologist without fear.
During the meetings, the students will be left with the 'Vocabulander', a vocabulary of andrology with correct and verified information.
It will be a guide to learn about the main diseases associated with the genitals, the correct use of condoms, intimate hygiene, nutrition, alcohol and the risks associated with the use of drugs "." The project - adds Professor Nicola Mondaini, creator and coordinator of the campaign - was also born on the basis of previous experiences gained through andrological visits to students in schools.
