Unlike female menopause, male reproductive aging occurs erotic gradually. Testosterone levels decline approximately 1% per year after age 30–40. Sperm quality and erectile function may also decrease with age.
Advanced paternal age has been associated with increased risk of genetic mutations and certain developmental disorders in offspring. Therefore, counseling regarding reproductive timing may be appropriate in some cases.
Healthy lifestyle choices and early medical evaluation can mitigate age-related decline in reproductive capacity.
