The Midlife Crisis: Hormones in Men

When women move into middle-age, they know, at least to a degree, what to expect. Menopause and its symptoms are well known and accepted. But what about men? Fluctuating hormones have always been more of a women thing by popular opinion; men have testosterone and that was the end of the story. The only indication that too many men had about what to expect for their aging process was the proverbial midlife crisis. The cause of this midlife crisis wasn't discussed or even questioned and men stepped blindly into middle age with no explanation for the symptoms they were feeling.

Then the doctors woke up. Every living being, male or female, human or animal, are governed by hormones. Yes, men have testosterone, but they also have estrogen, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), dihyrdotestosterone (DHT), cortisol, etc. After years of men coming to their doctors wondering why they are experiencing low sexual drive, weight gain, muscle loss, urinary problems, irritability, depression, fatigue, hot flashes and even more, studies were finally performed and research was finally attained on the role of hormones in men as they age.

The Answer: What is MANopause?

What they found shouldn't have been surprising; there is a male menopause or manopause. Similar to women, hormones in men decline and change with age. The difference is that the hormones in women change drastically but for men it is gradual. Men do not just wake up one day with an entire host of symptoms; it happens slowly over time as testosterone levels, for one, diminish and other hormone levels, like estrogen, increase.

Too many have kept quiet about their symptoms, attributing it to aging and a midlife crisis or believing that something must just be wrong with them personally. Manopause or andropause does exist and affects men as early as 35. Beyond manopause, hormones in men can reach imbalance with thyroid disorders, adrenal fatigue and more. Hormone imbalance does not gender discriminate!
