The results of the study show that 73.6% of the respondents had a strong experience of andropause, and it has a strong connection with the level of education and occupation related to andropause. Based on the outcomes of this study, despite the fact that the majority of men over age 40 had experienced symptoms of andropause, their awareness about andropause was very low and they are more prone to psychological issues.
