physical and emotional changes experienced by some men in middle or late life, caused by their body producing less testosterone (= a male hormone)

Many men are reluctant to accept they have a health problem, which is partly why the andropause is not more widely recognised.

Like the menopause, the andropause is triggered by hormonal changes in the body. 跟女性更年期一样，男性更年期也是因为身体内激素的变化而引起的。
