When a man enters head age five, he usually begins to show a number of changes in behavior or attitude. For example, they often complain of pain, are fussy, and have decreased sexual ability. Maybe this indicates that the man is experiencing symptoms of andropause. What is andropause? Check out the reviews.
Symptoms and Characteristics of Andropause in Men
Andropause is a condition in which testosterone levels decline along with the aging process. Andropause can be classified as a male degenerative disease.
However, there are several differences between menopause that occurs in women and andropause that occurs in men. In women, ovulation ends and hormone production decreases over a relatively short time.
In men, this hormone production and decreased testosterone bioavailability occurs over the years with consequences not always clear.
Generally, the process of lowering testosterone levels in men begins at age 35 and continues until testosterone is completely depleted in their 70s. Male growth hormone peaks around age 20, and falls about 14 percent every 10 years after that.
By the age of 40, almost half of the growth hormone has been lost, and by the age of 80, it has only a few percent left. This hormone deficiency causes the signs of aging to become more visible.
Men should be aware of hormonal imbalances, before these symptoms get worse. The symptoms of andropause are commonly referred to testosterone deficiency syndrome or TDS. Here are the symptoms that you should be aware of.
- Lack of energy and feel tired quickly
- Low libido
- Erectile dysfunction aka impotence
- Sweating quite a lot every night
- Mood is volatile and sensitive
- Depression
- Increase in body weight even though decreased appetite
- Lots of hair loss
- Weak memory
- Irregular heartbeat
- Difficulty sleeping or insomnia
- Gynecomastia or enlargement of the nipples in men with age
According to an endocrinologist at The Endocrine Clinic Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital, if a man experiences one or more of these symptoms, it is likely that he is experiencing an endocrine imbalance.
Usually, the endocrinologist can perform tests and perform a number of diagnoses, as well as exercises to correct the imbalance.
How To Deal With It?
If women can undergo estrogen hormone replacement therapy, estrogen replacement therapy or ERT to improve postmenopausal quality of life. Andropausal men can also undergo testosterone hormone replacement therapy, testosterone replacement therapy or TRT, which is now easy to do in various clinics and hospitals in Indonesia.
However, like ERT, until now TRT is still reaping controversy. Some doctors still forbid it, because it is thought to trigger strokes and prostate cancer.
If your partner starts showing symptoms of menopause that occur in this man, it is normal and cannot be prevented. What must be considered is a diet that must be more regular, starting to reduce or stop smoking and regular exercise, for example walking for 30 minutes every morning.
Some men are more sensitive and irritable at this time, so patience is the key to dealing with men who are experiencing andropause.
