Question

What is the primary cause of ADAM ("male menopause") in aging males?

पर्याय

• Failure of the testes to descend into the scrotum

• Reduced production of testosterone

• Inability of the sperm to fertilize an ovum

• Abnormal collection of fluid within the tunica vaginalis

Answer 1

ADAM is caused by a reduced production of testosterone in aging males. Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone, and its decline produces the male menopause-like state characteristic of this condition.
