Middle-aged? Tired? Not interested in sex? Hey, Mister… you might be in ‘male menopause’ | July, 2010

According to an article recently published in the Palm Beach Post, male menopause is not a myth after all. It turns out that men a have a biological time clock too. Unlike menopause, testosterone production in men doesn’t necessarily “turn off,” but instead gradually declines with age. The slow decrease in the male sex hormone known as testosterone can lead to a variety of symptoms, including low libido, erectile dysfunction, depression, fatigue and even hot flashes and night sweats.

Although studies have suggested that only 2 percent of men will experience symptoms of the male menopause, many experts agree that this number in reality is much larger. Although there no test to determine whether or not a man is “menopausal,” men can have their testosterone levels tested to determine if an underlying hormonal imbalance is present.

Male menopause is commonly referred to by doctors as andropause – which is derived from the term androgen, a class of hormones that includes testosterone. Low testosterone or “low-t” can be caused by a variety of factors, with age being the most prominent. Just as menopause isn’t just for women, neither is hormone therapy. However, just as there are risks associated with traditional approaches to hormone therapy, men too should use caution when finding a treatment plan that’s right for them. Many women (and men too) are opting for natural alternatives to traditional therapies, such as bioidentical hormones, which are molecularly identical to the hormones that the body produces naturally.

BodyLogicMD physicians help women and men overcome symptoms of hormonal imbalance, commonly associated with menopause and andropause, using customized wellness programs that feature personalized nutrition and fitness regimens in conjunction with bioidentical hormone therapy.
