Andropause, also known as male “menopause,” is an age-related hormone condition that can occur in men. Around the age of 50, some men experience a drop in testosterone levels which may contribute to a change in energy, sex drive, and hormone regulation. Through a simple blood test, Dr. Gluck will be able to determine if your hormone levels are healthy or in decline. Male menopause is different from female menopause: it does not occur in all men, and it does not completely shut down the reproductive organs. However, it can cause a series of other symptom that can affect the quality of ones life such as but not limited to depression, low energy, reduced libido, and muscle weakness.
