Beginning in the fourth decade of life, declining androgens (male hormones) and imbalances of related hormones bring on the symptoms of aging in males referred to as "Andropause," the equivalent of menopause in women. Testing hormone levels can be utilized for early detection of undiagnosed hormone imbalances (specific excesses and deficiencies) linked to increased risks for prostate disease, low sex drive, premature aging, and poor quality of life.

The testes produce nearly 95% of all male testosterone. The balance is supplied by the adrenal glands. They also produce small amounts of estrogen. The brain produces the pituitary hormones follice stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) which trigger hormone production from the testes. As a a man gets older, testosterone levels fall and estrogen levels tend to rise. Lower testosterone levels may affect bone density, muscle strength, body composition, or sex drive. The imbalance that occurs when testosterone is low in relation to estrogen may also contribute to prostate problems.
