What is Andropause?
Andropause is known as male menopause, where the levels of testosterone gradual decrease causing many unpleasant symptoms. ADAM is a term used to describe Androgen Deficiency Aging Male. And in Greek the word Andropause is broken into two parts: Andro=male and pause=stop.
When do men go through Andropause?’
It is typical for a man to experience Andropause during the ages of 40-55. Some men notice testosterone levels dropping in their 30s.
Decrease in Testosterone - Testosterone is the most significant hormone relating to men. A decrease usually occurs in men age 45-55 as a natural process of aging. This process is usually much more gradual than the process of menopause for women and may be harder to detect. An important distinction with the decreasing of testosterone relating to the testes is unique in that the testes don’t stop producing sperm. Women’s ovaries completely stop producing estrogen to produce eggs. In men the testosterone levels don’t completely run out or dry up, as sperm can be produced into the last years of one’s life.
