Yes.: It is a controversial topic, just like Fibromyalgia . About 40 % of males 40 to 60 + years suffer from andropause. It is characterized by depression, irritability, fatigue, mood swing and difficulty maintaining erections. a few may even have low testosterone levels. The old joke was that when married men start looking for romance elsewhere that they were going through andropause.
