Abstract
|
|
|
|
Since the elderly population has been increasing recently in our country, old male patients with testosterone deficiency with a significantly decreasing quality of life are becoming increasingly common. Andropause is caused by the reduction of hormones testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone in middle-aged men. Testosterone assists the male body in building protein and it also contributes to several metabolic functions including bone formation, and liver function. In this article, we review the sign and symptoms of testosterone deficiency and how to diagnose it. We also review the supplements or treatment of testosterone deficiency.
