Medical Video: Is your Man in Menopause? Recognizing the Symptoms of Andropause!
When a man begins to enter the age of five heads and starts showing a number of 'strange' symptoms, for example, he often complains of pain, fuss, and decreased sexual ability. Maybe this indicates that men are experiencing symptoms of andropause. What is Andropause? Check out the reviews.
What are the symptoms and characteristics of andropause in men?
What is Andropause? Andropause is a condition of decreased testosterone levels along with the aging process. Andropause can be classified as a male degenerative disease.
But what needs to be emphasized is that menopause that occurs in women is different from andropause that occurs in men. In women, ovulation ends and hormone production decreases over a relatively short time.
In men, hormone production and a decrease in testosterone bioavailability occurring for years with consequences are not always clear.
In general, the process of decreasing testosterone levels in men begins at the age of 35 years and continues until testosterone is completely exhausted in the age of around 70s. Male growth hormone peaks occur around the age of 20 years, and fall around 14 percent every 10 years thereafter.
At the age of 40, almost half of the growth hormone has been lost, and at the age of 80, only has a few percent left. This hormone deficiency causes signs of aging to become more visible.
Men must be aware of hormonal imbalances, before they become worse. Andropause symptoms are commonly called testosterone deficiency syndrome or TDS. The following are the symptoms that you should know.
- Lack of energy and feel tired quickly
- Low Libido
- Erectile dysfunction aka impotence
- Sweating pretty much every night
- Mood is easy to change and sensitive
- Depression
- Increased weight even though your appetite decreases
- Many hairs fall out
- Weakening of memory
- Irregular heartbeat
- Insomnia or insomnia
- Gynecomastia or breast nipple enlargement in men as you age
According to an endocrinologist at The Endocrine Clinic at Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital, if a man experiences one or more of these symptoms, it is likely that he is experiencing endocrine imbalance.
Usually, endocrinologists can do testing and do a number of diagnoses, as well as exercises to correct the imbalance.
How do you deal with andropause?
If women can undergo estrogen hormone replacement therapy, estrogen replacement therapy or ERT to improve postmenopausal quality of life. Andropause men can also undergo testosterone replacement therapy, testosterone replacement therapy or TRT, which is now easily done in various clinics and hospitals in Indonesia.
However, like the ERT, TRT is still controversial. Some doctors still forbid it, because it can trigger stroke and prostate cancer.
If your partner begins to show menopausal symptoms that occur in these men, it is natural and cannot be prevented. What must be considered is a diet that must be more regular, start reducing or stop smoking and regular exercise, for example, walking 30 minutes every morning.
Some men are more sensitive and irritable at this time, because being patient is the key to dealing with men who are experiencing andropause.
