They should order regular blood tests to measure total testosterone concentrations and free testosterone levels. Andropause impacts multiple aspects of men’s health that extend beyond the initial symptoms. These guidelines suggest offering testosterone therapy on an individualized basis—only after explicit testing and discussion of the potential risks and benefits. Testosterone boosters are a supplementary substance that helps increase testosterone levels in a man’s blood. Testosterone levels typically begin to decrease in middle age, with studies, including the European Male Aging Study, confirming a steady decline in overall bodily functions as men age (National Library of Medicine). Andropause is a natural part of the aging process in men, and medical professionals do not consider it a disease on its own.

I was prescribed treatment but didn’t see any change. From the first visit, my experience has been positive and all of the staff makes you feel at ease.

If your levels are consistently below 275 to 300 ng/dL, "your doctor will likely determine if any symptoms attributed to low testosterone might be caused by other conditions," says Dr. Bhasin. "In some of these situations, the underlying cause of testosterone deficiency, such as obesity, medication use, or a disease, may be temporary and should be addressed," says Dr. Bhasin. Some men with a low testosterone level might never go through "male menopause-like" symptoms.
Unlike menopause in women, which happens relatively quickly,andropause is a slow and progressive process that can span years. If you’re noticing symptoms related to andropause, there are steps you can take to feel better. If you suspect you might be experiencing andropause, the first step is to talk to a healthcare professional. Treating low testosterone levels actively boosts bone mineral density. Yet unlike female menopause, which has a definite end, andropause is a slow and steady ongoing process. As hormone levels decrease, men may experience changes in sexual function, muscle mass, energy levels, and overall well-being.
