AB  - As  a  result  of  the  age-related  functional  impairments  of  the  steroidogenic  as  well  as  the  gametogenic  compartments  of  the  testis,  aging  of  men  is  associated  with  an  increased  risk  of  sexual  dysfunction,  reduced  fecundity,  prostate  cancer,  lower  urinary  tract  symptoms,  and  paternal  age  effect  disorders  in  the  offspring.1  These  age-related  conditions  greatly  affect  men’s  well-being  and  quality  of  life  and  are  among  the  major  reasons  that  motivate  middle-aged  and  older  men  to  seek  medical  care.1  The  substantial  increase  in  life  expectancy  of  men  around  the  globe  has  focused  growing  attention  on  these  quality-of-life  issues  associated  with  reproductive  aging  of  men.  Traditionally,  the  reproductive  health  of  men  has  not  received  due  attention  in  the  medical  school  curricula  or  in  typical  primary  care  practices.  Therefore,  many  middle-aged  and  older  men  may  seek  care  in  one  of  many  men’s  health  clinics  that  have  mushroomed  all  around  the  United  States  in  recognition  of  this  unmet  need  and  which  offer  specialized  care  focused  on  reproductive  disorders  among  men.1
