The Male Change: Andropause Stories

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts describe andropause and age-related male hormone decline. Writers describe the slow fade — energy, mood, motivation, libido, muscle, sleep — and the years of attributing it to work, age or marriage before anyone tested anything. There is naming it: the morning blood draw done at the wrong hour, the borderline results, the free versus total testosterone confusion, and the wide gulf between endocrinologists and online clinics. Writers describe the weekly ritual of therapy honestly: the injections and gels, the first six weeks, the monitoring of haematocrit and PSA, the fertility conversation nobody had with them, and what coming back actually felt like. Later chapters cover the quieter roads of sleep, strength training, alcohol and weight, clinicians' perspectives on overprescribing, and the men whose numbers rose while nothing else did.

Who it's for

For men wondering whether their symptoms have a hormonal explanation, patients considering or already on testosterone therapy, and partners trying to understand the change.
