Andropause Treatment for Men in Ahmedabad — Male Hormone Imbalance Care by Dr. Prarthan Joshi
Andropause — sometimes called male menopause — is the gradual decline of testosterone and other androgens that occurs in men from their late 30s onwards. Unlike female menopause, which is a distinct hormonal event, andropause is a slow, progressive process that many men attribute to stress, age, or lifestyle — never suspecting that their hormones are the underlying driver.
At Zydus Hospitals, Ahmedabad, Dr. Prarthan Joshi — M.S., M.Ch. (Urology) — is a leading male hormone imbalance doctor in Ahmedabad, offering a structured, evidence-based approach to andropause management — from initial diagnosis and lifestyle optimisation to testosterone replacement and regenerative therapies.
What is Andropause?
The term andropause describes the cluster of physical and psychological symptoms that arise when circulating testosterone falls below the threshold needed for optimal male health. Unlike the dramatic hormonal shift of female menopause, andropause unfolds gradually — making it easy to miss and easy to dismiss.
The key difference between normal aging and true andropause is the presence of clinical symptoms alongside biochemically confirmed low testosterone. Feeling tired is universal. Feeling tired with a morning testosterone of 180 ng/dL is andropause — and it is treatable.
Signs of Andropause
- Progressive fatigue that sleep does not resolve
- Loss of motivation, drive, and competitive edge
- Reduced libido and changes in sexual performance
- Increasing abdominal fat despite no change in diet
- Loss of lean muscle despite regular exercise
- Hot flushes or night sweats in some men
- Emotional flatness, low mood, or mild depression
- Brain fog and memory lapses
- Sleep disturbance
Hormonal Evaluation
A comprehensive male hormone imbalance workup at Zydus Hospitals includes testosterone (total and free), LH, FSH, SHBG, prolactin, thyroid function, and cortisol — creating a complete hormonal picture rather than acting on a single number. This integrated approach ensures that other treatable causes of fatigue and low mood — thyroid dysfunction, adrenal insufficiency, sleep apnoea — are not missed.
PRP Therapy for Testosterone and Sexual Health
For men with andropause-related sexual health decline — particularly reduced libido and mild to moderate erectile dysfunction — PRP therapy in Ahmedabad offers a regenerative, non-hormonal complement to conventional TRT. Platelet-rich plasma stimulates penile tissue repair, vascular regeneration, and improved sensitivity — addressing the physical dimension of sexual health decline that TRT alone may not fully resolve.
Lifestyle Optimisation as First-Line Treatment
For men with borderline testosterone levels and mild symptoms, structured lifestyle intervention is always the first step — before hormonal therapy is considered. Weight reduction, resistance training, optimised sleep, alcohol reduction, and stress management all produce measurable improvements in endogenous testosterone production. Dr. Joshi provides specific, actionable guidance on lifestyle optimisation as part of every andropause consultation.
Related Conditions
Andropause overlaps significantly with erectile dysfunction, low testosterone, and reduced sexual confidence. Psychosexual counseling for men in Ahmedabad addresses the psychological and relationship dimensions of hormonal decline that medical treatment alone cannot fully resolve.
