Male Aging and Andropause |
Male aging deals with the physiological and biochemical changes that accompany passage of time in men. The most important change in man is the steady decline in the blood level of male hormone called testosterone. This has been dubbed ‘andropause’ in reference to the similar decline in female hormones with menopause. Our service in the area of Male Aging aims to ameliorate some of the physical, mental and social effects of these changes.
The decline in serum testosterone may lead to changes in various organ systems. Some of these changes are clearly linked to testosterone while others are less obvious. We believe in supplementing testosterone only to bring it back to its normal physiological level with pre-defined objectives to serve the best interest of our patients. |
