Because women tend to have a more abrupt hormonal change they are more likely than men to realize that their symptoms are from a\u00a0hormonal imbalance. Men tend to have a more gradual change\u2013with symptoms slowly appearing over 20 year period. Often the symptoms are not seen as a hormonal decline.<\/p>\n<\/header>\n<div class=\"m_5103354447202290178entry-content\">\n<blockquote><p>Male menopause (called andropause) has many different symptoms.
