Five Symptoms of Male Menopause and How to Survive Them
by John Dugan OwnerMale
menopause is a condition that affects men as they age. Also known as
andropause, it describes the age-related changes in male hormone levels. Male
menopause is most often denoted by a drop in the hormone androgen in men 50
years of age or older. For the uninitiated, androgen is made in the male
reproductive organ. It does more than just control sensual urges; it also helps
fuel mental and physical energy, maintain muscle mass, and regulate the
fight-or-flight response. Unlike female menopause, not all men experience it.
It also doesn't mean the reproductive organs shut down. In fact, some men
father children into their 80s. It can, however, affect several parts of daily
living. Here are a few of the most common symptoms.
1) Depression or Sadness – As androgen levels drop, a man can experience depression or
sadness. Depression is a consistently depressed mood or loss of interest in
activities. This symptom can itself lead to other major changes in lifestyle
including appetite, sleep, concentration, energy level, and self-esteem. If
depressed, seek professional help immediately as this is a very serious symptom
of male menopause.
2) Insomnia or Difficulty
Sleeping – Low androgen can cause a wide
range of sleep disturbances including insomnia. Some men may have problems
falling or staying asleep for a healthy number of hours. Men also may
experience increased sleepiness even though they slept a normal number of
hours. Men having sleeping problems can try to create a more sleep-friendly
space by regulating light, temperature, and sound. If that doesn’t work, see a
sleep specialist.
3) Loss of Muscle Mass and Feelings
of Weakness – Androgen is one of the
hormones that are responsible for energy and maintaining muscle mass. As
androgen production decreases, some men experience waning muscle mass and an
overall feeling of weakness. Resistance training has shown to help men regain
muscle mass. Also, make sure you are getting enough protein in your diet.
4) Reduced Libido – As people age, it’s not unusual for them to desire intimate
relations less than they did in their 20s. However, when the urge to make love
goes weeks, months, and even years, this can cause significant stress, concern,
and problems in a relationship. Men who are concerned about their libido can
take supplements to build it back up.
5) Reproductive Dysfunction – This denotes the inability to maintain a firm member during
coupling. This is one of the most noticeable symptoms of male menopause. This
can cause a lot of stress, relationship strain, and low self-esteem in a man
and his partner. There are a host of things that can
help this issue from medication to exercises, but they should be evaluated with
a medical practitioner.
Regaining Virility During Male Menopause
During male menopause, a man can experience a lot of physical and
emotional changes. He should get help when needed and remember that his
identity and self-confidence are not controlled by male menopause.
In addition to getting regular exercise, adequate sleep, and
eating a healthy diet, men can also perform other acts of self-care to make
male menopause an easier time. Meditation and yoga have been shown to help
balance the body and regulate the endocrine system.
Men who are suffering from ED can also use a specially formulated
male organ health crème (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil,
which has been clinically proven safe and mild for skin) daily. These
specials creams are designed specifically for the member and should contain
ingredients such as vitamins A, B, D, and E, which support healthy cellular
function. In addition, men should look for a product containing vitamin C as it
helps blood flow, elasticity, and is vital for reproductive performance.
L-Arginine is also a key amino acid that should be included in a male organ
crème as it aids in the process of getting hard.
