More Symptoms Associated With the Male Menopause
Condition
Everyone knows that menopause is associated with women who
reach a certain age. However, not many people are aware that
menopause will also be experienced by the male population when
they also reach a certain age. The male menopause condition or
also known as andropause is very real and as a male, you have
to be informed about it in order to cope with it.
Male menopause occurs when you reach the
age of about 50 to early 60's. The signs and symptoms of male
menopause are quite similar to what women experience when they
are going through the menopause.
However, unlike the female menopause where the production of
hormones stops instantly, the male menopause will only decline
in the production of male hormones called testosterone. This
decline will result in the different signs and symptoms that
you will experience when you go through male menopause.
Male menopause will have symptoms similar to menopause that
women experience, such as fatigue, infertility, hot flashes,
and mood swings. However, there are more symptoms that men
should be aware of when they experience male menopause.
You have to consider that you will also experience erectile
dysfunction, loss of interest in sex, depression, and anxiety.
There are also other symptoms linked to male menopause. Some
men reported that they became more motherly. It is a fact that
males are more focused on money, power, and career. When they
experience male menopause, they somewhat reported that they
became more focused on family, and friends, which is the
primary concerns of women. Sometimes they say that they
regretted their former attitude.
Males will also experience loss of hair in the armpits and
axilla, decreased sex drive, shrinking of testicles, impotence,
constant feeling of tiredness, decreased muscle strength,
decreased muscle mass, decreased bone density, and low sperm
count. All these symptoms points to male menopause.
This is all due to the loss of androgens in the male's body.
This is why there is testosterone replacement therapy as a
treatment for men who are going through male menopause. It has
been found that testosterone replacement can significantly
improve your condition and decrease the signs and symptoms of
male menopause.
There are also other treatments that are not as complicated
as testosterone replacement therapy that you can do in order to
improve your condition. However, it is recommended that you
should mix these activities with testosterone replacement
therapy. It is recommended that men should relax and rest well,
exercise, eat the right kinds of food, and abstain from
drinking and smoking.
Together with testosterone replacement therapy, you will see
that it will significantly improve your condition. You will see
that it will increase your sex drive or your libido, increase
your muscle mass and strength, increase bone density, and it
will also prevent depression.
Before you jump up and get yourself treated with
testosterone replacement therapy, it is very important that you
should consult your doctor first. The doctor will be able to
determine if you have a low testosterone level by conducting a
series of tests. The doctor will also be the one to recommend
you to a qualified professional to do the testosterone
replacement therapy.
Always remember that testosterone replacement therapy will
not cure male menopause. It can only relieve the symptoms you
experience associated with male menopause and can help you cope
up with this condition. Just remember the signs and symptoms of
male menopause and you can easily determine if you need to
visit your doctor.
