Andropause is a condition of low testosterone in men that usually begins to occur at about 40 years of age. Andropause is often misdiagnosed or not diagnosed at all for several reasons. The primary reason is the severity and frequency of symptoms can vary dramatically from man to man. Many men also find it difficult to acknowledge there may be a problem by even talking about symptoms. Finally, healthcare providers often conclude symptoms are related to aging or a medical condition such as depression rather than to low testosterone.
