We’ve all heard the stereotype: a middle aged man who starts dressing like Puff Daddy, begins listening to Christina Aguilera instead of classic rock and buys himself a Porsche so he can cruise around while looking for holla back girls young enough to be his daughter.

The cliché has been around for a long time and this actually happens. But what if I told you they were symptoms of Andropause?

Andropause is the male equivalent of Menopause. You might think that a man having Menopause is laughable and you’ve possibly never heard of it before but it is true. Men do go through the change and for some it can be quite devastating. So what is Andropause?

Andropause is caused by a large decrease in male testosterone, it usually begins in men over forty-five but can begin as early as thirty. Like menopause it can be devastating and life changing to those that are going through it. In the USA it is estimated that there are over 350,000,000 men going through Andropause at any given time.

Like Menopause, Andropause can be medically distinguished by testing one's testosterone levels and is very treatable.
