Testosterone deficiency and its impact on male sexuality and health
Medical professionals suggest that the term andropause is misleading because, unlike menopause in women, male hormonal decline is neither sudden nor universal. Instead, doctors prefer the terms age-related androgen deficiency (DALA) or testosterone deficiency syndrome when hormonal drops cause symptoms that diminish quality of life.
Common sexual indicators include reduced libido, less frequent morning or nocturnal erections, and a decreased effectiveness of PDE5 inhibitors. Physical and psychological symptoms can also include fatigue, sleep disturbances, irritability, muscle loss, increased abdominal fat, and bone fragility. Physicians may use the ten-question ADAM score to assess these symptoms and evaluate potential deficiency.
