Hormonal aging in men is characterized by gradual changes in testosterone production and endocrine responsiveness. Unlike the abrupt hormonal transition observed in women, male hormonal decline occurs progressively and varies significantly among individuals.
Reduced testosterone levels may affect reproductive capacity, sexual function, muscle mass, bone density, and psychological well-being. These changes can be exacerbated by obesity, chronic illness, and sedentary lifestyle.
Andrology distinguishes physiological hormonal erotic aging from pathological hypogonadism, enabling appropriate intervention while avoiding unnecessary or unsafe treatment.
