Male menopause, also known as andropause or late-onset hypogonadism, refers to a decrease in testosterone levels in men as they age. While it shares some similarities with menopause in women, it is not as clearly defined. Symptoms can include fatigue, decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, mood swings, irritability, and decreased muscle mass. However, not all men will experience these symptoms, and they can also be caused by other health conditions. At Eve Clinics on Harley Street in London, Mr Richard Viney, our Urology Consultant offers a variety of different treatments to help. This includes testosterone replacement therapy and lifestyle changes.

While menopause is commonly associated with women, it’s essential to acknowledge that men too experience a similar phase known as andropause, or male menopause. Dr Richard Viney, our Urology Consultant at Eve Clinics London, is dedicated to guiding men through this transitional period with personalised treatment and lifestyle enhancement strategies.

What Causes Andropause?

Andropause typically occurs as a result of age-related hormonal changes, particularly a decline in testosterone levels. Testosterone, the primary male sex hormone, plays a role in various bodily functions, including muscle mass maintenance, bone density, mood regulation, and libido. As men age, usually starting in their late 40s or early 50s, testosterone production gradually decreases, leading to the onset of andropause.

Signs and Symptoms

The signs and symptoms of andropause can vary from individual to individual but often include:

  1. Decreased Libido: One of the most noticeable changes is a decline in sexual desire or libido.
  2. Erectile Dysfunction: Difficulty in achieving or maintaining erections may become more prevalent.
  3. Fatigue and Energy Loss: Many men experience increased fatigue, decreased energy levels, and a general sense of lethargy.
  4. Mood Swings: Changes in mood, irritability, and even depression may occur due to hormonal fluctuations.
  5. Loss of Muscle Mass and Strength: Testosterone plays a crucial role in maintaining muscle mass and strength, so a decline in testosterone levels can lead to muscle loss and weakness.
  6. Weight Gain and Body Fat Redistribution: Men may notice an increase in body fat, particularly around the abdomen or the development of man boobs.
  7. Night Sweats and hot flashes
  8. Memory loss
  9. Shrinking testicles
  10. Low or zero sperm count

Effects on Life

The effects of andropause extend beyond physical symptoms and can significantly impact a man’s quality of life. Decreased libido and sexual function can strain relationships, while fatigue and mood swings can affect work performance and social interactions. Additionally, changes in body composition and muscle mass can lead to a loss of confidence and self-esteem.

Improving Lifestyle

In addition to medical treatments, Dr Viney emphasises the importance of adopting a healthy lifestyle to mitigate the effects of andropause.
