「Male Menopause」

Some men face menopause at middle age

It has been acknowledged for a while that not only women, but men can also experience menopause. Menopause for women is usually around the time when they stop menstruating, but men can start menopause between 40 and 50 until around the retirement age of 60. They can find themselves losing both physical and mental balance and stamina. The age at which men experience menopause depends on the individual, with some men first experiencing it in their seventies or eighties.

Male hormones and stress are closely related

One major reason for menopause in men is stress. Many men have increased work and family responsibilities which can cause more stress. Male hormones are usually secreted when the parasympathetic nervous system is dominant like when we are having fun or relaxing. On the other hand, the sympathetic nervous system becomes dominant when we have prolonged periods of stress, and the secretion of male hormones significantly decreases. The cause of decreasing male hormones is not only due to aging but also due to lifestyle stress and it is called ‘LOH syndrome’.

Symptoms of a decrease in male hormones

■ Psychological symptoms

Irritation, nervousness, anxiety, depression, exhaustion, feeling worn out and hopeless, poor memory and lack of concentration.

■ Physical symptoms

Exhaustion, joint and muscle pain, loss of muscle strength, excessive perspiration, disrupted sleep, lack of motivation, and reduced beard growth.

■ Sexual function disorder

Lack of libido and sexual impotence.

Symptoms to look out for

One of the symptoms of male menopause is waking in the middle of the night needing to urinate. As male hormones decrease, so do antidiuretic hormones. Menopause causes the urine to be thinner than usual, and the sufferer needs to urinate more often. It is important to deal with these symptoms and not to put them down to simply getting older.

Male hormone is a social hormone

Male hormones such as testosterone are usually produced in the testes and are important substances for a man’s ‘manliness’. Male hormones also help increase muscle, improve mental activities, improve cognitive function, and increase vitality. The male hormone is often referred to as a ‘social hormone’ because it is said to increase a man’s appeal and sociality. When the male hormone decreases it can become harder to socialize and mix with other people, but staying isolated causes further a decrease of male hormones. Therefore it is important not to try to deal with things by oneself, but to accept help from friends and family. In addition, the decrease of male hormones causes a decrease in immunity and an increase of visceral fat, which increases the risk of lifestyle related disease such as high blood pressure, hyperglycemia or hyperlipidemia.

It is possible to prevent male menopause

The amount of male hormone a man has varies widely, but it is said that with effort one can increase the levels. Eating a good balanced diet including nutrients such as amino acids, vitamins and minerals is very helpful because they are essential for autonomic nerves, which control the testes and the secretion of hormones. Other substances necessary for increasing male hormones are ‘egg white peptide’, ‘torula yeast, ‘brewer’s yeast’, zinc, and ‘maca extract”. Intake of these substances in good balance helps prevent stress and aging, and men can maintain their ‘manliness’ and keep themselves physically and mentally young.
