Menopause, for men | June, 2010

According to an article recently published on Mid-Day News, the male menopause, also known as andropause, is not a myth after all. Women have a good idea of what they can expect when menopause comes a-knockin?, but men on the other hand are in the dark on the issue. Andropause is a term used to describe the hormonal and physiological changes that occur when a man's testosterone levels begin to decline. In addition to erectile dysfunction and gynecomastia ("man boobs"), men oftentimes experience many of the symptoms that women do during menopause, such as weight gain, low libido, depression, fatigue, and even hot flashes and night sweats.

Men oftentimes blame themselves for behavioral changes that are in fact due to an underlying hormonal imbalance. Some chalk it up to a hectic career or even assume it's a mid-life crisis, but men rarely ponder the idea of male menopause. The article recommends that men who think they may be suffering symptoms of andropause, ask their physician about testosterone therapy. "Bioidentical testosterone therapy can restore a man's testosterone levels back to a normal range and help to mitigate symptoms. Still, hormone therapy isn't the entire solution. It's also important to eat the right foods and get plenty of exercise, to keep the body in check," say the BodyLogicMD bioidentical hormones experts.
