Andropause 

Also, known as androgen deficiency of the ageing male (ADAM) or male menopause that relates to a decrease in testosterone and DHEA in middle aged men. The consequences of lowered hormone levels are associated with:

• Loss of libido
• Impotence
• Nervousness
• Depression
• Irritability
• Decreased muscle mass and strength
• Impaired memory and difficult concentration
• Fatigue
• Insomnia
• Hot flushes
• Sweating

These changes can start at around 35 years of age which is called premature andropause and can occur in men who experience excessive female hormone stimulation through workplace exposure to estrogens. Men who work in the pharmaceutical industry, plastics factories, near incinerators and on farms that use pesticides are at high risk for early andropause.

Other risk factors are:

• Age
• Hypothyroidism
• Adrenal insufficiency
• Stress
• Toxicity (pesticides, smoking, alcohol, heavy metals)
• Insulin resistance
