Andropause or male menopause is a name that has been given to a supposed menopause-like condition in middle-aged men. This may relate to a reduction of the production of the hormones testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone in middle-aged men, and the consequences of that reduction, which is associated with a decrease in Leydig cells. Unlike women, middle-aged men do not experience a complete and permanent physiological shutting down of the reproductive system. A steady decline in testosterone levels with age (in both men and women) is well documented. There is on-going professional disagreement about whether or not "andropause" should be considered a normal "state" (the term used by MeSH), or a disorder.
