Low Testosterone and Metabolic Syndrome

While we are accustomed to hearing about menopause and all of the symptoms women experience, most men do not realize that they too undergo a similar transition called andropause.  Andropause, often referred to as “male menopause”, is a decline in testosterone production that commonly begins in a male’s forties.  The gradual change in hormonal status can cause a variety of symptoms such as:

• Concentration problems
• Erectile dysfunction
• Loss of muscle tone
• Hot flushes and night sweats
• Abdominal weight gain
• Depression/anxiety
• Low libido
• Decreased urinary flow
• Fatigue

As if these issues aren’t enough, the decrease in testosterone left unbalanced can also be responsible for a a condition called metabolic syndrome.  This syndrome can include:

• Insulin resistance/high blood glucose
• Elevated triglycerides
• High blood pressure
• Low HC cholesterol
• High LDL cholesterol
• Clotting disorders
• Elevated C-reactive protein
