Andropause refers to the age-related decline in testosterone production in men. Starting around age 30, testosterone levels drop gradually, typically about 1% per year, without a defined start or end point.
Because the decline is slow, most men adapt to it without realizing anything has changed. Symptoms build quietly over years, and by the time they're noticeable, they're often attributed to stress, poor sleep, or simply getting older.
A proper evaluation requires lab-confirmed low testosterone plus a symptom picture that fits, not a single number or a feeling. See how Xena Health evaluates low testosterone.
Because the decline happens slowly, andropause symptoms are frequently attributed to stress, aging, or overwork rather than hormones. A comprehensive lab panel is the only way to know what's actually driving them.
Fatigue, low libido, weight gain, and mood changes aren't unique to andropause. Several common conditions overlap heavily with low-T symptoms, which is why lab confirmation matters more than a symptom checklist.
OSA causes fatigue, low libido, brain fog, and irritability, the same core complaints as low testosterone, and the two conditions frequently occur together. Untreated OSA can also independently suppress testosterone production, and starting TRT without addressing underlying sleep apnea may not resolve symptoms and can worsen OSA in some men. If snoring, witnessed pauses in breathing, or unrefreshing sleep are part of your history, that's worth flagging at your evaluation.
If a comprehensive hormone panel confirms low testosterone, Xena Health offers individualized TRT: injections, EvexiPEL pellets, or topical creams, with ongoing monitoring for men in Las Vegas and Henderson, plus telehealth across Nevada, Arizona, and Utah.
