Full answer

Andropause describes the symptomatic, biomarker-confirmed decline in testosterone seen in many men with age. Provider review confirms low total and free testosterone on two morning draws and screens cardiovascular, prostate, and hematocrit context. TRT is the primary pathway. Candidates prioritizing fertility, or wanting to preserve their own HPG axis, are evaluated for enclomiphene as an alternative. Every initiation requires the standardized biomarker panel and synchronous video review with recalibration at 8–12 weeks.

Educational. Not a substitute for individualized provider review.
