Andropause Test & Treatment in Singapore

Andropause, sometimes called “male menopause,” refers to the gradual decline in testosterone and other hormones as men age. Unlike female menopause, it is not a sudden event but a slow process that usually begins after the age of 40. Low testosterone can impact energy, mood, sexual health, muscle strength, and long-term wellbeing.

Many andropause symptoms overlap with other conditions such as thyroid disease, stress, depression, or nutritional deficiencies. Testing helps to:

• Confirm if symptoms are due to low testosterone
• Rule out other possible causes (thyroid, vitamin deficiency, anemia)
• Identify risks to bone, heart, and metabolic health
• Provide clarity and personalised treatment guidance

Men with andropause or low testosterone may experience:

• Fatigue and reduced stamina
• Low libido and erectile dysfunction
• Mood swings, irritability, or depression
• Poor concentration or memory issues
• Muscle loss and weight gain, especially belly fat
• Thinning hair or reduced beard growth
• Hot flushes or night sweats (less common)
• Osteoporosis or fragile bones over time

The primary cause is natural, age-related testosterone decline. Other contributing factors include:

• Chronic stress and high cortisol levels
• Obesity and metabolic syndrome
• Chronic illness or long-term health conditions
• Medication side effects (e.g., steroids, opioids)
• Excess alcohol consumption or poor lifestyle habits
• Genetic predisposition or testicular disorders

We provide a comprehensive panel to assess testosterone and overall health, including:

• Total Testosterone – overall testosterone levels
• Free Testosterone – biologically active testosterone
• LH & FSH – pituitary control of testosterone production
• Prolactin – screens for hormonal imbalance
• Thyroid Function (TSH, Free T4) – rules out thyroid disorders
• Vitamin D, Iron, Ferritin, Zinc – for energy, immunity, and bone health
• Full Blood Count (FBC) & Metabolic Panels – overall health screening

We do not provide Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT), but we focus on safe, supportive alternatives such as:

• Lifestyle modifications – diet, exercise, stress management, sleep hygiene
• Nutritional support – correcting vitamin and mineral deficiencies
• Non-hormonal medications – when appropriate for symptom relief
• Bone health assessment – early detection and prevention of osteoporosis
• Specialist referral – to urologists or endocrinologists if TRT is required

Yes. Persistently low testosterone may increase risks of osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, weight gain, and reduced quality of life. Early diagnosis and management help prevent complications and support long-term wellbeing.
