Andropause – a phenomenon that occurs due to a decrease in male hormones
Male menopause, also called Andropause, refers to psychological and physical changes in men, such as emotional instability, interpersonal difficulties, fatigue, depression, anxiety, and problems in sexual life, often resulting in a sense of weakness. These symptoms occur due to aging and a decrease in male hormones (testosterone). After the age of 40, testosterone levels decline by about 1% per year, which can lead to declines in the musculoskeletal system, central nervous system, and sexual function. Unlike female menopause, where hormone levels drop rapidly and symptoms are noticeable, male hormone decline occurs gradually, so men may not realize they are experiencing menopause. Therefore, if you notice reduced motivation or increased emotional sensitivity compared to usual, you should consider the possibility of male menopause.

Treatment for Male Menopause
Treatment for male menopause involves replenishing deficient testosterone levels, using a variety of methods, including injections and oral medications. Hormone therapy can cause serious side effects in patients with prostate cancer, cardiovascular disease, generalized edema, sleep apnea, or severe urinary incontinence. Therefore, it’s crucial to consult with your doctor before receiving treatment.
