Male Menopause (Andropause): Signs, Symptoms, & Treatments | Dr Khizar Raoof | Arete Hospitals

What is Andropause/Male Menopause? At what age does andropause start? #andropause #malemenopause

Andropause is a condition similar to menopause in females, characterized by a decrease in the male hormone testosterone as men age. This decrease typically begins in men over the age of 50, with testosterone levels dropping by about 1% each year. The symptoms of andropause can significantly impact a man's quality of life, but there are effective ways to manage this condition. Here, we discuss the signs, symptoms, and management strategies for andropause.

What is andropause, and when does it typically occur?
Andropause is the male equivalent of menopause, characterized by a decrease in testosterone levels. It typically affects men over 50 years old, with testosterone levels dropping by about 1% annually.

What are the common signs and symptoms of andropause?
Early symptoms can include lack of interest in work, memory loss, unexplained weight loss, decreased strength, mood swings, sleep disturbances, and stress. As the condition progresses, men may experience erectile dysfunction, loss of libido, and premature ejaculation. More serious complications can include diabetes mellitus and heart disease.

How is andropause managed?
Initial management typically involves lifestyle therapy, including weight training and a healthy, balanced diet. If these measures prove insufficient, testosterone replacement therapy may be prescribed for the aging male.

To manage andropause, lifestyle therapy is usually the first step. This includes weight training and maintaining a healthy, balanced diet. If lifestyle changes are not sufficient, testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) may be recommended to support aging men.

Understanding andropause is crucial for maintaining men's health as they age. Recognizing the symptoms early and seeking appropriate treatment can significantly improve the quality of life for those affected by this condition.
