What do you call a doctor specializing in penises? For example to
diagnose and treat Erectile Dysfunction, to get a prescription for
Viagra/Cialis/Levitra, etc.

For example, when I need to diagnosis and treat disorders affecting my
female reproductive organs I see a GYNECOLOGIST.

Hello  Burnt_toast,


The specialist would be a urologist.

may refer you to a urologist or to another specialist.?

The following specialists may play a role in the diagnosis and
treatment of Erectile Dysfunction:

Urologists

They are the doctors who most commonly treat ED, especially those that
have suspected physical causes. Urologists can provide routine
evaluation and treatment of ED and perform special tests to evaluate
the nerves, arteries and veins that control the erection process. They
also prescribe medications and perform surgery to correct erection
problems.?

Not all urologists treat ED but most do. It is important to find a

depression, anxiety, and relationship problems.?

Thanks to tateti-ga for the informative comment.

Here are additional definitions of "andrologist" on the Web:

Andrology (from the Greek andros, man) is the medical specialty that
deals with men's health, particularly relating to the problems of the
male reproductive system and urological problems that are unique to
men. Gynaecology deals with medical issues which are specific to
women.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrologist

You might also consider the "ANDROLOGIST", that is, the physician who
specializes in ANDROLOGY ("andrology is to the male what gynecology is
to the female")http://www.andrology.com/andrology.htm.
At the same URL, you can find the following list of common andrological disorders:
Some Common Andrological Disorders:
Impotence (erectile dysfunction)
Infertility (childlessness)
Intersex disorders and transsexuality
Ejaculatory disturbances
Peyronie's disease
Penile curvature
Priapism
Sperm conducting system defects (epididymis, vas, ejaculatory duct)
Andrologic cancers (penis, testes, scrotum)
Hypospadias
Epispadias
Cryptochdism
Swellings of scrotum and intra-scrotal contents
Venereal disease in males
Groin swelling (including hernias)
Delayed puberty in boys
Penile torsion.

Take also into account that many andrologists are urologists.

Hope this is of use.
