Andropause is the male equivalent of female menopause. Menopause in a woman literally means the end of monthly cycles. As this does not occur in a male, it refers to the stage of life when symptoms of aging appear in men. Also called Late-onset hypogonadism (LOH), and previously referred to as androgen deficiency in aging males (ADAM) It is an age related decline of testosterone, one of the causes of secondary hypogonadism
