What helps

Andropause in men is a broad and not yet fully researched field. And complaints or symptoms often differ considerably from one man to the next. There is therefore no "cure-all". Appropriate treatment possibilities and therapies have to be assessed individually. Every treatment must thus be preceded by a thorough examination performed by a medical specialist.

Androx is based on three principles:

1 On a very differentiated and precise history with scientifically validated scores for assessing how the patient feels
 
2 Currently available and practicable tests for hormone status
 
3 The very precise objective measurement of a hormone-dependent organ - bone - in the form of a screening.

 

 
   

The type of therapy depends on the precise medical diagnosis. In many cases a hormone replacement therapy is the best means to sensibly support a total therapy. It is, however, not the only cure-all. Nutritional advice, fitness training and a more carefully thought-out lifestyle are just as important in a responsible treatment plan.

 

IMPORTANT

No "do-it-yourself" treatments with hormone medications!

   

 
Androx helps

A treatment that could be initiated in time, successfully, often fails at the very banal first step: Who should I turn to?

Androx is an international, independent, public interest society of interdisciplinary doctors and scientists. We have made it our task to explain the phenomenon of the aging person to the public and doctors.

Our duties include:

Conception, organization and performance of clinical studies (multi-center studies)
 
Organization of events and congresses
 
Basic scientific work such as the establishment of objective standards for the diagnosis of andropausal symptoms
 
Development and international propagation of a therapy concept
 
Certification of clinics, institutes etc. with regard to standardized diagnostics

The first priority, however, is concrete help for people affected. This is why Androx has set up a service to serve as a first contact point for people. We advise patients and tell them which specialists they can turn to with their concrete problems.
