Is There a Male Menopause?
By Jacqui Olliver
The medical community is still debating whether or not there is such a thing as male menopause.
Doctors have observed that men undergoing hormone therapy for testosterone have displayed symptoms suggestive of female menopause. So do you think it could be argued with reasonable evidence that male menopause (also known as andropause) is a real thing and can affect any man?
What exactly is male menopause?
Male menopause is often described as a serious reduction in the testosterone levels of men, and can be a common sign of aging. Due to the hormonal imbalance in the body created by low levels of testosterone, men may undergo a menopausal experience similar to women.
Diabetes can also lead to male menopause. It’s important that you recognize the signs and symptoms of this condition.
Low testosterone in men can lead to several problems including:
Sexual dysfunction
Depression
Weakness and fatigue
While recent evidence suggests that low levels of testosterone can lead to male menopause, doctors don’t fully agree that these symptoms are caused by a reduction in testosterone levels. So the jury is out on that one.
Restoring a hard erection requires a refocusing procedure.
What's the difference between male menopause and female menopause?
When women experience menopause, the egg production in the ovaries stops completely. However, with male menopause, men tend to go through a slower reduction in the production of sex hormones. This is because the testicles don’t run out of the stuff that is needed to create testosterone. Men can still make sperm when they are 80 years and older!
The problem with andropause is that it reduces the testosterone count in men to such dangerously low levels that they are unable to create sperm.
Some men have been known to suffer from severely depleted testosterone counts at the age of 45 to 50. It’s more common for men to suffer from low testosterone by the age of 70 years old.
A drop in testosterone doesn’t necessarily affect erection hardness. I’ve personally helped dozens of men with excessively low testosterone levels who were able to restore strong, hard erections with my simple method. This is because when the brain is receiving the right “messaging signals” it will initiate the correct hormonal response in the body.
How to Diagnose Male Menopause
Diagnosing male menopause can be complex, as it involves assessing a range of physical, psychological, and hormonal factors. Here are the steps and considerations for diagnosing male menopause (andropause):
1. Recognizing symptoms
First and foremost, pay attention to how you feel. Are you experiencing symptoms like fatigue, mood swings, weight changes, or reduced libido? Keep a record of these symptoms.
2. Review your health history
Reflect on your medical history. Think about any existing health conditions, medications you're taking, and your lifestyle habits that might be influencing how you feel.
3. Listen to your body
Take notice of any physical changes. Are there any visible signs such as muscle loss or changes in your body composition?
4. Get your hormones checked
If you suspect male menopause, consider getting a hormone check. A blood test can help determine if your testosterone levels are within the normal range for your age.
5. Check thyroid health
Remember to get your thyroid function checked. Thyroid issues can sometimes mimic the symptoms of andropause, so ensuring your thyroid is functioning well is important.
6. Emotional wellbeing
Be open about your mental health and emotions. Share any feelings of depression, irritability, or mood swings with your healthcare provider.
7. Check the health of your bones
Consider a bone density test. This can help assess the health of your bones, which might be affected by declining testosterone levels.
8. Cardiovascular assessment
Discuss your cardiovascular health with your healthcare provider, as low testosterone can impact your heart health.
9. Consult with a medical specialist
Seek a consultation with a healthcare professional, like an endocrinologist or urologist, who can help interpret test results and provide a diagnosis.
10. Psychosexual Alignment
Learn how to align your body's mental, emotional and physical processes. By balancing your sexual focus between yourself, your partner, and the actions of sex, you can prevent loss of erection hardness, early ejaculation, performance anxiety, and orgasm problems without drugs or hormone replacement.
Testosterone replacement therapy can have some serious side effects.
Many men with low testosterone levels are advised by their doctor to have testosterone replacement therapy. This can help them overcome symptoms such as fatigue, depression, and decreased libido (loss of interest in sex). However, it's important to note that side effects of testosterone replacement therapy may include the risk of prostate cancer.
Testosterone replacement therapy can have some serious side effects.
There are different methods and techniques to ensure that men don’t have to suffer through andropause. The good news is that by simply upgrading your knowledge base, and altering your diet and lifestyle, you can alleviate the symptoms of male menopause.
An increase in physical strengthening exercises is one of the best ways to naturally increase your testosterone levels.
The easiest ways to naturally deal with male menopause are by:
Improving your diet
Exercising regularly (include exercises to strengthen your penis)
Help to solve erectile dysfunction problems
Hormone changes are natural and are a part of the aging process. However, unlike the dramatic hormonal plunge that women experience during menopause, men in general experience a rather slow decline in their testosterone levels. This gives him time to implement effective strategies to ensure (or restore) full sexual function.
