Fatigue, irritation over trifles, frequent mood swings, decreased libido seem to be inevitable companions of aging. Doctors have found that the true cause of these symptoms, not only in women, but also in men, is age-related hormone deficiency. Men, as it turned out, do not have enough androgens, primarily testosterone. Researchers are sure that andropause in men (an analogue of menopause in women) exists and is expressed not only in a change in behavior, but can also cause obesity and diabetes. Hormone replacement therapy effectively affects both the causes and the consequences of andropause, allows you to prolong years of quality life, physical, intellectual and sexual activity. The recognition of the existence of «male menopause» prompted the International Andrological Society, the European Urological Association and other international organizations to recommend that older men measure their hormonal levels and not neglect a visit to a specialist, considering unpleasant age-related symptoms inevitable. When accepting a patient, a doctor of any specialty must be aware of the natural age-related androgen deficiency as a possible cause of depression, fatigue, sexual dysfunction or brittle bones.
