Male Menopause Secrets Unveiled

See More articles From articlewiz

Have you heard of Male Menopause? Well, it’s a fact, men too pause, and there actually is something called male menopause. Don’t pause, just read on to know the ins and outs of male menopause.

Male Menopause! Do you think the word “female” has been misspelled here? Are you appalled by this phrase? Or, do you feel it’s an insult to a man’s virility? There is nothing like that! The word is right; you don’t need to feel appalled by the phrase Male Menopause; and no, in no way does this affront the man’s dignity. Male Menopause is a simple ageing process.

What exactly is Male Menopause?

Male menopause is just another term coined to delineate a man’s gradually waning sex drive and sexual vigor. As a man grows old, his agility, flexibility, stoutness, and strength start to wear off. Similarly, the sex drive also reduces and the sexual health too gets affected. According to a recent study, 51 % of males aged between 40 and 70 experience changes in their sexual health. It takes longer to get erections, arousals call for direct stimulation of penis, erections are not as rigid as they used to be, ejaculations are early and feeble, and the refractory period between erections increases.

When and How?

Male menopause usually happens between the age of 45 and 60. However, in some cases it can appear early as well. Unlike female menopause, male menopause does not necessarily mean that a man will not be able to father a child. The secretion of testosterone, the hormone responsible for a man’s sexual drive, decreases gradually after the age of 40, and by the age of 55, it decreases considerably.

Symptoms

Here is a list of the common symptoms of male menopause:
• Diminishing sex drive.
• Difficulty in attaining erections
• Feeble Ejaculations
• Lethargy
• Lack of strength and vigor
• Low endurance.
• Insomnia
• Loss of body and muscle mass
• Declining libido
• Crabby Attitude

Causes

Research and studies to gauge the exact causes of male menopause are on. Some of the generic causes, as listed by medical experts are as under:

• Hormone deficiencies
• Hypothalamic sluggishness
• Depression
• Extreme alcohol consumption
• Obesity
• Hypertension
• No physical workout
• Psychological problems
• Smoking

Treatment

Usually, Testosterone Replacement Therapy is used in cases where the testes fail to produce the requisite amount of testosterone. Testosterone is available in varied forms, oral, injections, implants, and trans-dermal. However, oral dose is not usually recommended, for it can lead to liver toxicity. Besides, TRT therapy is not highly recommended for prostate cancer patients.

Tips

Here are a few tips on how to deal with male menopause.

• Don’t overstress yourself
• Take a low-fat, balanced diet
• Sleep well
• Go for a physical workout at least four times a week.
• Talk to your friends of your age to know as to how they are dealing with their ageing process.
• Avoid taking alcohol
• Drink plenty of water everyday
• Don’t smoke
