Abstract
Aging Male Syndrome is a medical condition through which men could pass between the ages of 35 and 65, when testosterone levels in their body decline considerably. Androgen deficiency in the aging male has become a topic of increasing interest and debate throughout the world. In contrast to female menopause, the process of aging in the male genital system is slow and highly variable between individuals. The characteristic symptoms of Aging Male Syndrome include weakness, depression, fatigue and changes in body hair and skin, decreased sexual desire, decreased lean body mass accompanied by increased visceral fat, decreased bone mineral density. Aging Male Syndrome is usually diagnosed by testing the blood for testosterone levels. The usual treatment method for Aging Male Syndrome includes testosterone injections, testosterone patches, testosterone gels and oral preparations.
