Male Menopause? What’s that?
Even though there is more public talk about women and menopause, men also encounter a hormonal imbalance as they age (andropause). Because women tend to have a more abrupt hormonal change they are more likely than men to realize that their symptoms are from a hormonal imbalance. Men tend to have a more gradual change–with symptoms slowly appearing over 20 year period. Often the symptoms are not seen as a hormonal decline.
Male menopause (called andropause) has many different symptoms. These symptoms come from a drop in Testosterone.
Andropause (male menopause) Symptoms:
- depression
- irritability
- decreased morning erections
- longer recovery time from workouts
- stiffness and pain in joints and muscles
- decreased concentration
- decreased ability to build muscle
- lowered mental acuity
- loss of the competitive edge
- overall loss of vitality
- fatigue
- sleep disturbances
- and more
A man may still have a good libido (sex drive) but be suffering from a decrease in his Testosterone levels because he does not realize that Testosterone performs many functions in the body. Testosterone is not just a “sex” hormone.
“I feel back in balance. I have more energy and feel more focused.”– Charlee P., New Leaf Wellness Patint
Strong associations between low Testosterone and…..
- bone loss (osteoporosis)
- dementia
- type 2 diabetes
- elevated LDL cholesterol
- arthritis
There is a lot of incorrect information about the negative side effects of Testosterone and when you research the studies you will find that when bio-identical Testosterone is prescribed and monitored by a hormone specialist, Testosterone is a benefit to the overall health and vitality of men and has not been shown to cause cancer or heart disease. Proper hormone balancing for men results in a man who feels great, thinks clearly, moves easier, and enjoys life better.
