Andropause, which corresponds to a testosterone deficiency in men, remains a relatively poorly understood biological phenomenon and does not affect all men.
It develops gradually and inconsistently over many years, often without obvious signs. Therefore, andropause cannot be compared to menopause, which affects all women over a relatively short period and is marked by the cessation of menstruation.
In some middle-aged and older men, testosterone therapy may be recommended to reduce symptoms and help slow certain aspects of the aging process. Testosterone replacement therapy may increase libido, improve erectile quality, boost energy levels, strengthen muscles, and contribute to better bone mineral density.
This treatment requires regular medical monitoring, particularly of the prostate, as well as cardiovascular and liver health.
