The topic Andropause you are seeking is a synonym, or alternative name, or is closely related to the medical condition Low Testosterone in Males.

Quick Summary:

• Low Male Testosterone is a condition in which the body does not produce adequate levels of testosterone, a hormone essential to the development of male sex organs and secondary male sex characteristics
• Testosterone levels can be low from birth (congenital causes) or may become low later in life, due to factors, such as injury, infection, aging, genetics, or other health problems
• In most cases of Low Male Testosterone, the problem lies either with the functioning of the hypothalamus (an essential hormone-producing region of the brain), or due to low hormone production in the testis (the testosterone-producing organ)
• In normal cases, the hypothalamus is stimulated to produce luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicular-stimulating hormone (FSH). LH and FSH, in turn, stimulate testosterone production. When factors such as injury, infection, or other health issues arise that affect the hypothalamus, there is a disruption of brain signals to other body organs, including the testes leading to reduced levels of testosterone
• Also, when the testes are damaged, they are unable to properly interpret brain signals to produce testosterone, leading to low/reduced levels of testosterone production
• In many cases, the condition of Low Male Testosterone can be treated to reduce the signs and symptoms associated with it. Most males are able to function normally and lead normal lives with proper treatment
