Andropause refers to the biological changes that men in mid-life experience; some like to compare this state with the female menopause. These changes are not universal and males continue to reproduce well into their old age.
During Andropause, the levels of the hormones testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone are diminished. As a consequence of this drop, the individual may experience -loss of concentration, low energy levels, fatigue, change in attitude, depression, low libido, and mood swings. Even healthy males experience these symptoms. It is not clear if hereditary factors, enviornment or lifestyle are associated with andropause
However, as a result of disease, subtle changes in the function of the testes may occur as early as 40 to 45 years of age, and more dramatically after the age of 70 in some men.
Andropause was an ‘under diagnosed’ and ‘under treated’ health condition. Today there is a lot of improvement in understanding and managing this condition. Simple blood tests diagnose this disorder. Treatment is carried out through Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) with fantastic results. Let me explain how to handle a safe andropause approach to change the life of your beloved patients.
