    GlossaryAndrogen Deficiency

    insufficient production of male hormones, primarily testosterone

    Androgen Deficiency, also known as Testosterone Deficiency or Hypoandrogenism, refers to a condition where the body produces insufficient levels of androgens, primarily testosterone. This can lead to symptoms such as reduced libido, fatigue, depression, and loss of muscle mass in men, and can also affect women, though less commonly. It can result from various causes, including aging, medical conditions, or certain medications.

      community What can be the real reason of Finasteride SE ?

      Finasteride can cause side effects like erectile dysfunction and decreased libido, possibly due to increased estradiol from testosterone aromatization, especially in those with higher body fat. Side effects vary widely and may also be influenced by genetic factors or neurosteroid inhibition.
