Yes men, it is true. Males suffer from the loss of hormones just as women do. After all, we are all we are all human beings, built in pretty much the same fashion, so why shouldn't males lose their crucial hormones just as women do? Aging does many things and losing production of your hormones is the cause of many of these unwanted effects. It has been estimated that men lose 2-4% of their testosterone per year, beginning in the 20's.
Modern medicine is finally accepting that fact, and many physicians are beginning to treat Andropause utilizing synthetic testosterone gels. While this is a modest advancement, men also lose the production of other hormones, which are just as important as testosterone, as well. Men can gain hormones that can be harmful to them as well. Hormones are the body's messengers. They tell the body how to run your bodily functions. If the wrong signals are there, or are missing, your body will not function properly. So after all, Male Andropause can be just as complicated as a female's menopause.
Men feel the symptoms of this change differently than women. They are more subtle, less obvious and for the most part, tolerable without seeking medical treatment. Men are also less likely to complain about these changes and pass them off as I'm just growing older; this is the way it's supposed to be. We get very used to the way we feel, that we do not recognize these changes. The loss of these hormones though, is just as hazardous to a man's overall health. So what are the most common symptoms? Look at the list below and see how you measure up.
1. Lack of energy, motivation.
2. Weight gain in the abdomen.
3. Sleeping disorders.
