Andropause is characterized by a loss of testosterone — the hormone that makes men men. Most men see testosterone levels drop as they age. However, some men are impacted more than others are. Diamond says that as many as 25 million American males between ages 40 and 55 are experiencing some degree of male menopause today.
"Male andropause can be very insidious," explains Dr. Stephen Sinatra, a Manchester, Conn., cardiologist board certified in anti-aging medicine. The loss of testosterone, which can happen to men as young as 35, is gradual, with testosterone levels dropping just 1 percent to 1.5 percent annually. Unlike the precipitous loss of estrogen that women hitting menopause face, the gradual loss of testosterone may take years to exact its mark on men with a host of symptoms not unlike changes menopausal women experience.
Irritability, fatigue, depression, reduced libido and erection problems are hallmark signs of andropause. "I felt like I didn't want to move," says Cecil Dorsey of Vernon, Conn. The 68-year-old retired truck driver, who discovered via a blood test nearly four years ago that his testosterone levels dropped, said, "I just didn't want to be bothered by anything."

Yes, it is. It's just recently been discovered that men, like women, do start to have a reduction in their hormone levels as they age. With women it's the reduction of estrogen...with men it's testosterone. For men, that means a decrease in the sex drive, sometimes irritability, inability to concentrate. Now, even men can get hormone replacement therapy and regain some of that vim and bounce.

Yes it does exist ! However, unlike the female, the male are better placed since it is a gradual process that could last a life time.

No,becuse the cyclic changes in the sex hormons stop at the very begining of the male fetal life cuz the sex genes of the male stop this cycle but in femals it didn't stop cuz no male sex genes
