Andropause

What is andropause?

Andropause, also known as male menopause, is a condition that affects men as they age. Similar to female menopause, andropause occurs due to changing hormone levels, specifically a decline in testosterone.

Some key signs and symptoms of andropause include:

• Low libido


• Erectile dysfunction


• Fatigue


• Loss of muscle mass


• Irritability or depression


• Reduction in strength

Andropause tends to occur gradually in men, usually starting in the 40s or 50s. While it shares some similarities with female menopause, there are important differences:

• Andropause occurs over many years versus months


• Not all men experience symptoms


• Treatment options differ
