Introduction to Male Menopause

Male menopause, also called andropause is a controversial condition that refers to the reduction of male hormones, such as testosterone, that occurs in some men later in life. While the decline in testosterone is fairly accepted and well documented, it is the state of male menopause and its surrounding symptoms as a condition or disorder that is up in the air. Some doctors claim that all men experience a drop in androgens around the mid-life mark, and with that drop will also experience depression, loss of energy, mood swings and hot flashes. Opponents to the condition of male menopause claim that since men can continue to reproduce well into old age, and low testosterone does not show up in all males, that the perceived “menopausal” symptoms could be the result of lifestyle, genetics or some other illness.
