Detection of androgens

Patient's question:

Patient is male, 55 years old. In recent two years, the patient has experienced abdominal distension and decreased libido.

Doctor's answer:

The physiological effects of androgens span all male physiological activities from embryonic development to aging, significantly impacting male quality of life. Once lacking, they can cause varying degrees of physical and psychological effects in men. Professor Zhu Jichuan pointed out that after men enter their 40s, as androgens in their bodies decline after reaching a peak in their youth, a series of physiological changes and clinical symptoms are triggered, which are medically referred to as late-onset hypogonadism in men.
