Andropause is often defined as the male equivalent of menopause in women. It occurs around the age of 50, when testosterone production starts to reduce, if not stop completely, thereby causing a gradual decrease in a man’s ability to function sexually. The word ‘andropause’ derives from the Greek ‘andros’ or ‘man’ and ‘pausis’ means a ‘pause’ or ‘temporary stop’. Discomfort in relation to andropause can vary from individual to individual, but generally, it includes a decrease in sexual appetite or libido, permanent tiredness, depression, irritability and mood swings, loss of strength and/or muscle mass, hot flushes and interrupted sleep patterns.
