Is Andropause a new medical problem?

Yes and no. Andropause was first described in medical literature in the 1940's. So it's not really new. But our ability to diagnose it properly is.

Sensitive tests for bioavailable testosterone weren't available until recently, so Andropause has gone through a long period where it was not diagnosed and not treated.

Now that men are living longer, there is heightened interest in Andropause and this will help to advance our approach to this important life stage in men’s health.

Increased diagnostic capability

Another reason why Andropause has been under-diagnosed over the years is that symptoms can be vague and can vary a lot among men. Some men find it difficult to admit that there's even a problem.

Often physicians don’t always think of low testosterone as a possible culprit. So these factors often lead doctors to think that symptoms are related to other medical conditions like depression.

Some physicians believe low testosterone related problems are simply related to ageing and often encourage patients to accept that "they no longer a spring chickens".

This situation is changing. New blood testing methods are available, like the ones AAG Miami offers, and there is an increased interest in men’s health among medical researchers.

So much attention is being focused on Andropause that major efforts are underway to quickly share emerging scientific information with the international medical community.
