Andropause - Test Yourself

Am I in the male climacteric or not?

The signs usually develop slowly and are initially difficult for the man to explain: tiredness, depression, irritability and reduced libido can be the first signs of the male climacteric, which starts between the 50th and 55th year of age.

With the following test you should be able to find out if andropause has already started for you - or if perhaps you are already in the middle of it.

We recommend that you print these pages so you can fill out and assess the questionnaire at your leisure.

Assessment
0 - 10 points   You can be happy. It is extremely unlikely that you are in the male climacteric.
11 - 20 points   It is possible that andropause has already started.
21 - 30 points   It looks as if you are probably already in the male climacteric.
31 - 40 points   You are in the middle of the male climacteric. In case of any problems, please turn to your doctor.
Over 41 points   You are already well advanced in the climacteric.
 
   

However, only a thorough examination and hormone tests by a doctor specialized in endocrinology can offer final certainty.
