Sanyukta Paul recently discussed andropause, the male equivalent of menopause, highlighting its gradual onset and symptoms. Dr. Anubha Singh, a gynecologist, explained that andropause results from declining testosterone levels, affecting men typically from age 40 to 70. Awareness and research on this condition remain limited.
- 01Andropause, often referred to as male menopause, is characterized by a gradual decrease in testosterone levels in men, starting around age 40.
- 02Common symptoms include fatigue, reduced libido, weight gain, muscle loss, and mood changes, among others.
- 03Dr. Anubha Singh emphasizes that andropause is less understood than menopause, partly due to fewer studies and its non-life-threatening nature.
- 04Lifestyle factors such as stress and overall health can also contribute to the symptoms of andropause.
- 05Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may be an option for men experiencing low testosterone levels, along with lifestyle modifications.

In a recent conversation, Sanyukta Paul discussed the concept of andropause, often termed male menopause, which reflects a gradual decline in testosterone levels in men, typically beginning around age 40 and continuing until age 70. Dr. Anubha Singh, a gynecologist from Shantah Fertility Centre in New Delhi, clarified that andropause is characterized by symptoms such as fatigue, decreased libido, weight gain, and mood fluctuations. Unlike menopause in women, which involves a sharp hormonal decline, andropause is a more gradual process, leading to less awareness and research on the subject. Dr. Singh noted that lifestyle factors, including stress and health management, can exacerbate symptoms. She recommends that men experiencing these symptoms consult a healthcare professional for testosterone level testing and potential hormone replacement therapy (HRT). The conversation highlights the need for increased awareness and understanding of andropause, as many men may not openly discuss their experiences or seek help.
