Only with this can a man get through the biggest "hurdle" of forty.

As the saying goes, "Men are in their prime at 41", but from a physiological perspective, it can also be said that "Men have reached a hurdle at 41". After the age of 40, the level of male hormones in men's bodies will gradually decrease with age, and symptoms of male menopause such as decreased physical strength, irritability, sweating, anxiety, and decreased sexual ability will appear. Medically, this is called delayed hypogonadism (LOH).

Generally speaking, male menopause may experience four major types of symptoms: one is a decline in physical fitness and strength; two is vasodilatory symptoms, such as hot flashes and sweating; three is mental symptoms, such as irritability, forgetfulness, depression, decreased concentration, anxiety, etc.; the fourth type of symptom is a deterioration in sexual ability, such as erectile dysfunction, decreased semen volume, and ejaculation strength.
