What is Andropause?

By the time men are between the ages of 35 and 55, they can experience a phenomenon similar to the female menopause, called Andropause.

Unlike women, men do not have a clear sign such as the stop of menstruation to mark this change. Both, however, are distinguished by a drop in hormone levels. Estrogen in the female, testosterone in the male.

These changes occur very gradually in men and may be accompanied by problems with attitude and mood, fatigue, loss of energy, sex drive and physical agility.

What's more, studies show that this decline in testosterone can actually put one at risk for other health problems like heart disease and weak bones.

Since all this happens at a time of life when many men begin to question their values, accomplishments and direction in life, it's often difficult to realize that the changes occurring are related to more than just external conditions.

A gradual male hormone decline

Attitude, psychological stress, alcohol, injuries or surgery, medications, obesity, genes, infections, age and the environment can contribute to a decline in testosterone.

With age a decline in testosterone will occur in virtually all men. There is no way of predicting who will experience andropausal symptoms of sufficient severity to seek medical help.

Neither is it predictable at what age symptoms will occur in a particular individual. Each man's symptoms may be also different.
