Andropause: Men also naturally experience declines in hormones. By age 40 most men have half the amount of testosterone than they did at 18.

While the decline is more gradual than menopause in women, it is still there and shouldn’t be overlooked.

Common signs and symptoms of low testosterone include:

  • Decreased motivation
  • Decreased self-confidence
  • Difficulty remembering things
  • Erectile dysfunction

  • Increased nervousness
  • Reduced muscle mass and strength
  • Reduced body hair
  • Breast enlargement

  • Tobacco use, recreational drug use

  • Stress, anxiety, depression
  • Surgery or radiation of the pelvis or prostate gland
  • Trauma to the penis
