Andropause - treatment and diagnostics at OpenMed Warsaw and Płock
Andropause is a process of gradual hormonal changes in men, which most often appears after the age of 40-50. It is associated with a decrease in testosterone levels, which can affect energy, libido, mood, and overall well-being.
If you notice chronic fatigue, decreased libido, or impaired concentration in yourself, it is worth considering a specialist consultation. At OpenMed in Warsaw and at OpenMed in Płock we provide diagnostics and treatment of hormonal disorders in men, helping to identify the cause of symptoms and select appropriate management.
Andropause and testosterone level diagnostics at OpenMed
The diagnosis is based on a combination of symptoms and test results. The consultation includes a thorough medical history and lifestyle assessment, since factors such as sleep, stress, or physical activity have a major impact on hormonal balance.
The basic test is testosterone measurement, performed in the morning. Depending on the result, diagnostics may be extended to include:
- free testosterone,
- SHBG,
- pituitary hormones,
- metabolic and thyroid tests.

When to see an andrologist?
If symptoms such as chronic fatigue, decreased libido, impaired concentration, or sleep disorders persist for a longer time, it is worth consulting a doctor.
These symptoms do not always result solely from age. They may have hormonal, metabolic, or other causes. Early diagnostics allows the cause of the problem to be identified more quickly and appropriate treatment to be selected.
Andropause treatment - what do patients ask about?
Andropause is associated with a gradual decline in testosterone levels. These changes develop slowly and may go unnoticed for a long time. Many patients initially explain symptoms by overwork or lifestyle, only over time noticing that the problem persists despite rest. The most common symptoms include: - chronic fatigue and decreased energy, - decreased libido, - impaired concentration and memory, - sleep disorders, - mood changes, - weight gain and reduced fitness. These symptoms may suggest reduced testosterone levels, but always require broader evaluation.
