andropause
Men's hormonal decline
Andropause is the gradual decline in testosterone that men experience with aging, sometimes called male menopause.
Unlike female menopause, it happens slowly over years rather than as a distinct transition.
Symptoms may include fatigue, decreased libido, and mood changes: His doctor suggested the weight gain and low energy might be andropause.
