Male Menopause
It's not just getting older
Andropause — sometimes called male menopause — refers to the gradual decline in testosterone and other hormones that occurs as men age. Unlike female menopause, which happens relatively quickly, andropause is a slow decline that can begin in the thirties and progress over decades.
Many men dismiss the symptoms as "just getting older" — the fatigue, weight gain, loss of muscle, declining libido, mental fog. But these are not inevitable. They are often signs of hormonal change that can be effectively treated.
The T Clinic helps men recognise the signs of andropause and restore appropriate hormone levels, allowing them to maintain vitality, strength and quality of life well into later years.
Warning Signs
Symptoms of andropause
Persistent Fatigue
Constant tiredness that doesn't improve with rest. Daily activities feel like a struggle.
Loss of Muscle
Declining muscle mass and strength despite regular exercise, or difficulty building muscle.
Increased Body Fat
Weight gain, especially around the midsection, that resists diet and exercise.
Reduced Libido
Decreased interest in sex and sexual thoughts, or feeling disconnected from your sexuality.
Erectile Changes
Fewer spontaneous erections, less firm erections, or difficulty maintaining erections.
Sleep Disturbance
Difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking unrefreshed despite enough time in bed.
Mood Changes
Irritability, low mood, depression or lack of motivation that feels out of character.
Mental Fog
Difficulty concentrating, memory problems and reduced mental sharpness.
Loss of Drive
Diminished self-assurance, reduced ambition, loss of the competitive edge you used to have.
Restoring Balance
Treatment approach
Comprehensive Assessment
Thorough blood work and a detailed discussion of your symptoms. Understanding the complete hormonal picture — not just testosterone — is essential.
Testosterone Replacement
When indicated, testosterone replacement therapy can substantially improve symptoms. Multiple delivery methods available; Dr Heyns helps find your optimal dose and method.
Supporting Hormones
Andropause often involves more than testosterone. DHEA, thyroid, cortisol and growth hormone are assessed and addressed as needed for complete balance.
Lifestyle Optimisation
Exercise, nutrition, sleep and stress management all influence hormonal health. Dr Heyns provides guidance on lifestyle factors that support your treatment.
Ongoing Support
Regular monitoring and follow-up ensures the protocol continues to work. Adjustments are made based on labs, symptoms and your goals.
