Which condition is associated with male climacteric?

The condition associated with male climacteric, often referred to as "andropause," is characterized by a reduction in testosterone levels. As men age, especially during middle age and later years, there can be a gradual decline in testosterone production. This decline is often accompanied by various physical and emotional changes, including reduced libido, fatigue, depression, and sometimes even osteoporosis.

In contrast, increased estrogen levels are not typically associated with male climacteric; while men do produce some estrogen, changes in estrogen levels do not define this phase. Pregnancy complications are specific to women and are unrelated to male climacteric. Additionally, an increase in sperm cell count does not characterize this stage in male reproduction; rather, sperm quality and quantity may decrease with age. Thus, the correct association with male climacteric is the reduction in testosterone levels.
