Androgen Decline Symptoms

Meaning

This clinical presentation refers to the collection of physiological and psychological manifestations that occur as circulating levels of androgens, primarily testosterone, decrease below an individual’s optimal functional range. The syndrome encompasses a spectrum of changes in various organ systems, reflecting the systemic role of these steroid hormones in maintaining homeostasis. It is recognized as a key component of the aging process in both males and females, though often more overtly discussed in the context of andropause or late-onset hypogonadism in men. The decline can significantly impact vitality, body composition, and overall quality of life.
