Andropause | TV interview - Channel Saúde+ | Dr. Pedro Oliveira

Dr. Pedro Oliveira was invited to participate in the program "Guia da Vida Saudável" on the television channel "Saúde +", in an episode in which the topic of andropause was addressed, which occurs from the moment the male body begins to have a reduction in testosterone production capacity. The drop in testosterone circulating in the blood due to aging is a condition called late hypogonadism.

Typically, the symptoms associated with a decrease in testosterone are the deterioration of all male sexual function, both physiological and psychogenic (decreased sexual desire, erectile dysfunction, etc.), but also a decrease in strength, muscle mass and bone density.

With the increase in average life expectancy, andropause is a condition that has generated increasing concern in society due to the way in which its symptoms may impact men's sexual and social relationships, despite not expressing itself as early and intensely as it does in menopausal women.
