Have you heard of andropause, often referred to as “male menopause”? This natural part of aging can significantly impact men’s vitality and wellness. Let’s dive into what it entails, andropause symptoms, and explore effective strategies to manage it
What is Andropause?
Andropause or “male menopause” is characterized by a gradual decline in testosterone levels in men, which typically starts around the age of 40. However, this process doesn’t happen overnight but rather unfolds gradually, affecting both physical health and emotional well-being. Consequently, Approximately 65% of affected men report a significant decrease in libido, and nearly 60% struggle with sleep disturbances.
Common Signs of Andropause: The symptoms can vary but often include:
- Decreased energy and stamina
- Loss of muscle strength
- Increased body fat, particularly around the abdomen
- Mood swings and irritability
- Reduced mental clarity and memory
- Lowered libido (Approximately 65% of men experience a significant decrease in sexual desire.)
- Sleep disturbances (Nearly 60% of men struggle with issues such as insomnia or disrupted sleep patterns)
Why Does Andropause Happen?
Andropause is primarily caused by a decrease in testosterone production, a hormone crucial for regulating energy, muscle mass, mood, and sexual function. As men age, natural testosterone levels decline, leading to the symptoms associated with male menopause.
