We don't talk about andropause nearly as much as we discuss menopause. That doesn't mean that this male equivalent to the aging changes of hormones isn't equally as important. In fact, it might be an even more important topic of conversation considering that men need to know about this issue as they start to get older.

Luckily, there are people out there who are starting to talk about it. And there are doctors out there who are starting to screen for it. In fact, one example of this happened recently at a golf show where men with symptoms of andropause could get free andropause testing.

Signs of andropause include fatigue, irritability and changes in sex drive. Men who generally just feel that something's gotten "off" as they've gotten older may also want to ask their wellness care providers about getting an andropause test.

Question of the Day: When was the last time you heard anything about andropause?
