Age-Related Andropause

Meaning

A clinical syndrome in aging men characterized by a progressive, often gradual, decline in bioavailable testosterone levels, leading to corresponding clinical symptoms. This condition is also known by the more scientifically precise term, Late-Onset Hypogonadism (LOH). Symptoms may include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, loss of muscle mass, increased visceral fat, and diminished vitality. The diagnosis relies on both consistent symptoms and laboratory confirmation of low serum testosterone concentrations.
