Men's Health and Male Menopause (Andropause)

About Male Menopause (Andropause)

Symptoms of male menopause, known as andropause are caused by a gradual decrease in hormones. Because the onset of these symptoms is gradual many men accept the fatigue and low sex drive as a normal part of the aging process. Replacing these hormones to younger, healthier levels reverses the symptoms of andropause.

The Truth of Why We Age

It is a common myth that hormones decline as we age. The truth is that we age because hormones decline. Testosterone, growth hormone and DHEA levels begin to decline in the mid to late twenties and these levels remain at healthy levels until the mid thirties. This age was the average male life expectancy several hundred years ago. Today the average life expectancy is in the seventies and many men are living to be almost 100 years of age. The hormone levels in our bodies have not caught up with our increased life expectancy. Because of this, andropause is a health problem that can easily be treated with hormone replacement therapy. Doctors on the cutting edge of medicine have been using hormone replacement therapies in both men and women effectively since the early 1990’s.

The Male Dilemma- Confessing Our Symptoms

The idea of andropause is embarrassing and even de-masculinizing for a lot of men today. They see the decline in their physical and mental abilities, loss of sexual appetite, fewer erections and lower stamina and endurance as a normal part of the aging process. This is andropause or male menopause. It seems to set in after age forty-five. Many men ignore the symptoms and have been told by doctors to accept these changes as normal aging.

Science has come so far in the last 100 years that men live longer and why not use hormone replacement therapies to allow your body to safely catch up to science and enjoy your life to the fullest. It is safe, effective, has almost no side effects and will restore the youthful body and energy levels to live a full, complete life. The solution and cure for andropause is hormone replacement therapy.
