Menopause--The Silent Howl for Males
An aged man walks along the road when a frog shows up in all
of a sudden, the frog uttered to him, If you will kiss me I
will transform into a beautiful maiden. The man, after hearing
the words of the frog, picks it up at once and places it inside
of his purse. The frog in its great confusion asked the man,
Why didnt you kiss me? But the man answers, I would prefer to
have a frog talking inside of my purse.
This story can be likened to a satire
wherein it depicts an aged man with a sexual insecurity.
According to some researches, a man reaching the age of 50 and
60 are already not capable to perform for quite several
reasons. And this situation is often associated to male
menopause.
Nowadays, approximately 18 million of the male American
population are affected with this dilemma on waning sexual
potency, affected by the lowering of the testosterone
level.
Moreover, this dilemma which is often termed as the midlife
crisis for aging men does not solely affect their sexual
potency; this also affects their mood, as well as their
endurance, quite akin to the feelings of women when they are
also reaching their menopausal period.
According to specialists, male menopausal may show various
symptoms like frequent fatigue, grouchiness, the lowering of
sex drive, decrease in lifes enjoyment, waning strength of
erections, falling fast asleep after eating dinner, the ability
in sports is gradually declining, lowering of strength ad
stamina, and decrease in energy.
If a man above the age of 50 is experiencing three of the
mentioned symptoms, there is a chance that it might already be
a low testosterone syndrome.
There are statistical studies that also reveal the
effects that can be related to the lowering of testosterone
level, these are:
- Reduce of libido level, this includes the eagerness for
sex and the sexual thoughts
- Reduce in muscle mass
- Reduce of memory level
- Increase of heart ailments
It is usual that on the part of the women, they often
perceive that men will not go through to anything like what
they will go through as they reach their midlife. However, with
all these presented facts about male menopausal, it shows that
women and men will be going through to a closely alike
experience in the later years of their lives.
People frequently focus on the differences between the
menopause of male and female that they tend to neglect the
numbers of its similarities, like for instance the impulsive
mood swings, anxiety and bad temper, the aching of neck and
back, the lapses and loses of memory, the lowering of
concentration, lowering of self-esteem, the feeling of gaining
weight, and sickness or injury takes longer time to cure.
Although men go through some reproductive modification, they
do not lose their capacity for reproduction, unlike women.
However, because men are considered to have a sturdy
performance in terms of sex, many of these men would prefer to
keep the frog talking inside of his purse and dismiss the fact
that it can transform into a beautiful maiden, than let the
situation caused by male menopause insult his sexuality.
Note this, the fatigue brought by male menopausal dilemma is
taken by these men quietly, yet, inside of them there is an out
bursting howl.
