Does male menopause exist?

Terms such as 'male menopause' are not accurate, for men this should be called 'andropause'. Menopause is the stopping of menstrual cycles(periods) that only happen in women. Testosterone levels in men do not stop suddenly, but drop with age. Therefore, these hormone changes with ageing in men and women are diagnosed and treated differently.

What are Androgens?

Androgens are the sex steroids or hormones that produce masculine characteristics such as changes in body shape (muscle gain, fat distribution) and secondary sexual characteristics (hair and beard growth, bone structure, vocal chord changes etc) typical of men. Androgens play a major and essential role in reproductive and sexual function in the mature male. The prominant androgen in men is testosterone.

What is the prostate gland?

The prostate is a small, but important organ (or gland) found only in the male reproductive system. Its main role is to make fluid that protects and feeds sperm. The prostate makes about half of the fluid ejaculated from the penis when orgasm happens. In young men, the prostate is about the size of a walnut (20g) and gets bigger as men get older. It sits underneath the bladder and surrounds the top part of the urethra, the tube which urine passes through on its way from the bladder to the penis. The growth of the prostate relies on testosterone (male sex hormone). If the prostate grows too large, it can slow or stop the flow of urine. As the prostate is located near the rectum (back passage), growth of the prostate can be checked by a rectal examination where a doctor places a gloved finger into the rectum.

Does fertility change with age?

Sperm counts do decline moderately with age in healthy men. But it is well known that men in their 70's and beyond may be able to father children. However in some older men, particularly if they have other medical complications, may be reduced. There are much more marked changes in reproductive function including sperm counts if severe illness is also present.
