Top 4 Andrology & Male Infertility Specialists in Jabal Amman 2026

When do you need an andrology and male infertility specialist?

Andrology is the part of urology that deals with male reproductive and sexual health. That includes the testes, sperm production, hormones that affect fertility, erections and the structure of the penis. In Jordan these specialists are usually consultant urologists who list andrology as a sub-specialty, which is the case for all four doctors on this page.

World Health Organization guidance defines infertility as not achieving a pregnancy after 12 months or more of regular unprotected intercourse. In roughly half of couples, a male factor contributes. Both partners should be assessed rather than only the woman. It is reasonable to seek advice sooner, often after six months, if the female partner is 35 or older or if either partner has a known risk factor.

Common reasons men book a visit include:

• Difficulty conceiving, or an abnormal semen analysis
• A previous undescended testis, testicular injury, mumps affecting the testes, or past cancer treatment
• A swelling of veins above the testis (varicocele), or a dull ache in the scrotum
• Erectile problems, low sex drive, or problems with ejaculation
• Curvature of the penis that causes pain or makes intercourse difficult
• A lump in the testis, which should always be checked promptly

Erection problems are worth raising with a doctor even when fertility is not the concern. They can sometimes be an early sign of heart disease, diabetes or hormone problems.

Warning signs that need urgent care

Some symptoms are emergencies and should not wait for a clinic appointment. Go to the nearest emergency department or call 911 if you have:

• Sudden, severe pain in one testis, especially with swelling, nausea or vomiting, which can mean testicular torsion
• An erection lasting more than four hours
• A painful, swollen, red scrotum with fever
• Being unable to pass urine
• Significant injury to the scrotum or penis

How to choose among the doctors here

Searching for the best andrology and male infertility specialists in Jabal Amman usually means finding the doctor whose published services and practical details match your situation. These criteria can help:

• Match services to your concern. If varicocele or sperm retrieval may come up, look for profiles that list those procedures specifically. Dr. Tariq Hussein Yousef lists microsurgical sperm retrieval and microsurgical or laparoscopic varicocele treatment. Dr. Adnan Al-Gazo lists varicocele surgery, penile implants and penile curvature treatment.
• Check training you can verify. Qualifications such as board certifications and fellowships are listed in each profile. You can ask the clinic to confirm them.
• Consider language. Dr. Emad Mamun Ezzibdeh's profile lists Arabic, English and German, which may help visitors and expatriates.
• Think about the whole pathway. Fertility care often involves repeated semen tests, imaging and coordination with your partner's gynaecologist or fertility clinic. Ask how results are shared and how follow-up is handled.
• Fit with your schedule. Opening hours differ. One clinic lists Saturday hours until 20:00, and others close earlier on Thursday.

Remember that the order on this page reflects profile completeness only. Two profiles share the same score, and a lower position says nothing about clinical ability.

What to expect at the first visit

A first andrology consultation usually starts with a detailed history. The doctor may ask how long you have been trying to conceive, about your sexual function, past illnesses and surgery, medicines and supplements, smoking, alcohol, heat exposure and work conditions. An examination of the genitals is normal and is often needed to check for varicocele or testicular changes.

The core fertility test is a semen analysis. If you have not had one, the doctor may request it. The laboratory will tell you how many days of abstinence to observe beforehand. Because results naturally vary, a second sample is often recommended if the first is abnormal. Depending on findings, blood tests for hormones, a scrotal ultrasound or genetic tests may follow.

What to bring:

• Any previous semen analysis reports, with dates
• Blood test results and imaging reports
• A list of current medicines and supplements
• Summaries of past surgery, especially on the groin, scrotum or testes
• Your partner's relevant fertility test results, if available

Questions worth asking:

• What do my results mean, and is a repeat test needed?
• What are the possible causes, and which further tests would help?
• Are there lifestyle changes that might help, and how long before they show an effect?
• If a procedure is suggested, what are the alternatives, risks and recovery time?
• How will you coordinate with my partner's doctor?

Many couples find it helpful for the partner to attend, since decisions about treatment often involve both people.

Insurance, fees and booking: what to ask before the appointment

Two of the profiles here, Dr. Tariq Hussein Yousef and Dr. Adnan Al-Gazo, list Arab Orient Insurance. Even when an insurer is listed, coverage depends on your specific policy. Fertility tests and some andrology procedures are not always included. Before booking, ask:

• What is the consultation fee, and does it include a follow-up visit?
• Are semen analysis, ultrasound or blood tests done on site, and are they charged separately?
• Does my insurance cover this visit, and is pre-approval needed for tests or procedures?
• Where exactly is the consultation held? This is especially relevant for doctors who practise within a hospital outpatient setting.
• Is there a waiting time for appointments, and can results be discussed by follow-up visit?

Ask your insurer for written confirmation of coverage before any planned procedure.

Getting there

Jabal Amman sits in central Amman, the capital and the heart of Jordan's healthcare system. The city has a population of around 5 million and the kingdom's largest concentration of hospitals and specialty clinics. Patients often travel in from other parts of the city, such as Abdoun, Sweifieh, the Gardens, Shmeisani and the 7th Circle area, or from further out in Khalda, Dabouq, Tla' Al-Ali and Jubeiha. Traffic in central Amman can be heavy at peak times, so allow extra time, check the exact clinic address when you book and ask about parking.

If further tests or treatment are needed, you may be referred to a hospital. Amman's major hospitals include Jordan University Hospital, King Hussein Medical Center, Al-Bashir Hospital, Specialty Hospital and Istishari Hospital. For any emergency, go to the nearest emergency department or call 911.
