Abstract:
The authors introduce current problems with regard to the male climacteric, or Partial Androgen Deficiency in Aging Males (PADAM) in Japan. They also emphasize the need for an official guideline for diagnosis and treatment, and new testosterone drugs for PADAM.
Dysfunction in the aging male is always a quality of life concern. The authors take this opportunity to focus on the possibilities and expectations with Kampo medicine in Japan, while discussing their view of ideal Kampo treatment for PADAM.
