Abstract
PURPOSE
The COVID-19 pandemic which has affected Spain since the beginning of 2020 compels us to determine recomendations for the practice of Andrology in present times.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
A web search is carried out in English and Spanish and a joint proposal is defined by experts in Andrology from different regions of Spain.
RESULTS
Most diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in Andrology can be safey postponed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Online consultations and outpatient surgeries must be encouraged. Andrologic emergencies and penile cancer management should be considered high priority, and should be diagnosed and treated promptly even in the most severe phases of the pandemic.
