Testosterone plays a critical role in modulating male sexual development, adult male reproductive health, and sexual function. In addition, it is critical in maintaining lean muscle mass, bone mineral density, and fat metabolism.11 Testosterone production is regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. Although andropause is often referred to as male menopause, it shouldn't be confused with women's menopause, even though some doctors have reported a few similarities between the two conditions. While women experience a sudden change in hormone levels and a subsequent end to the reproductive cycle, male menopause is usually a gradual process.
