Purpose: Andrological pathologies in the adulthood are often the results of conditions that originate during childhood and adolescence and sometimes even during gestation and neonatal period. Unfortunately, the reports in the literature concerning pediatric andrological diseases are scares and mainly concerning single issues. Furthermore, no shared position statement are so far available. Methods: The Italian Society of Andrology and Sexual Medicine (SIAMS) commissioned an expert task force involving the Italian Society of Pediatric Endocrinology and Diabetology (SIEDP) to provide an updated guideline on the diagnosis and management of andrological disorders from childhood and adolescence to transition age.

Results: A literature search of articles in English for the term “varicoceles”, “gynecomastia”, “fertility preservation”, “macroorchidism”, “precocious puberty” and “pubertal delay” has been performed. Three major aspects for each considered disorder were assessed including diagnosis, clinical management, and treatment. Recommendations and suggestions have been provided for each of the mentioned andrological disorders.

Abstract

Purpose: Andrological pathologies in the adulthood are often the results of conditions that originate during childhood and adolescence and sometimes even during gestation and neonatal period. Unfortunately, the reports in the literature concerning pediatric andrological diseases are scares and mainly concerning single issues. Furthermore, no shared position statement are so far available. Methods: The Italian Society of Andrology and Sexual Medicine (SIAMS) commissioned an expert task force involving the Italian Society of Pediatric Endocrinology and Diabetology (SIEDP) to provide an updated guideline on the diagnosis and management of andrological disorders from childhood and adolescence to transition age. Derived recommendations were based on the grading of recommendations, assessment, development, and evaluation (GRADE) system. Results: A literature search of articles in English for the term “varicoceles”, “gynecomastia”, “fertility preservation”, “macroorchidism”, “precocious puberty” and “pubertal delay” has been performed. Three major aspects for each considered disorder were assessed including diagnosis, clinical management, and treatment. Recommendations and suggestions have been provided for each of the mentioned andrological disorders. Conclusions: These are the first guidelines based on a multidisciplinary approach that involves important societies related to the field of andrological medicine from pediatric to transition and adult ages. This fruitful discussion allowed for a general agreement on several recommendations and suggestions to be reached, which can support all stakeholders in improving andrological and general health of the transitional age.
