Most doctors and researchers now agree than men do experience a “male menopause.” There are some psychological and spiritual issues that must be addressed as men pass through their own midlife crisis, usually between the ages of 40 and 55. But the actual physical symptoms may seem to be more pressing and will lead men to seek medical attention first.
Andropause, or male menopause, does not affect all men, at least not with the same intensity. Approximately 40 % of men between 40 and 60 will experience some of the following symptoms.
These symptoms are usually caused by a decrease in male hormones includingtestosterone, which is normal as a man ages. But just as estrogen treatments may cause problems in women, testosterone may cause problems in men. Some athletes have been known to abuse testosterone replacement therapy. There are several positive effects including a general feeling of well-being, greater strength, and increase or return of libido.But the negative side effects far outweight the positive one.
