Male Menopause/Andropause

Women aren’t the only ones who experience a ‘change of life’ as they age. Men also suffer from fluctuating hormone levels and testosterone deficiencies that lead to the physical and mental changes associated with aging, a condition called andropause or male menopause. While men don’t experience menopause the same way women do—with sudden symptoms like hot flashes and drastic mood swings—they do experience symptoms that have a significant impact on vitality and virility.

The symptoms of andropause occur gradually, and are the direct result of an age-related decline in testosterone and progesterone, and an increase in estrogen production. Symptoms can be exacerbated by the decline in growth hormone and DHEA that often accompany andropause.

Andropause Symptoms:

  • • Body fat gain, particularly abdominal
  • • Loss of lean muscle tissue
  • • Bone loss
  • • Hair loss
  • • Wrinkling and drying of skin
  • • Fatigue
  • • Decreased libido
  • • Erectile dysfunction (ED)
  • • Hot flashes, blushing, sweating
  • • Aches and pains
  • • Poor sleep quality, insomnia
  • • Nervousness, anxiety, irritability
  • • Memory lapses
  • • Depression
  • • Reduced motivation, apathy

Men often attribute these symptoms to stress at work or financial pressures at home, but andropause is a medical condition, and treatment as part of hormone replacement therapy is available. While changes to physical appearance can be dramatic, the most dangerous effect of increased estrogen is the amplified risk of heart attack or stroke.

Andropause doesn't have to be accepted as an inevitable result of aging. At Rejuvalife Vitality Institute, we can help you prevent, diagnose, delay, and possibly reverse many of the symptoms of andropause. Through a convenient, private consultation and diagnostic testing, we can develop an anti-aging program that can diminish your andropause symptoms and hormone replacement plan.
