Do men also have menopause? Seven symptoms tell you that menopause is coming

When talking about menopause, many people will think of women. In fact, men also have menopause. Compared with women, male menopause is less obvious. So what are the symptoms of male menopause?

1. Skin aging

Skin aging begins with wrinkles on the face, followed by the skin on the neck, hands and feet, which will gradually loosen and sag. This is due to the gradual reduction of fat and elastic tissue.

2. Bone aging

Starting from the ages of 55 to 65 for men and 35 to 45 for women, bone tissue loss will accelerate, increasing the number of sponge-like holes in the bones, leading to bone softening, atrophy of the intercostal muscles, and hunchback.

3. Aging of reproductive organs

After entering menopause, the reproductive organs will also show obvious signs of aging. This is due to the gradual decline of gonadal function. It is also the most important factor affecting the personality, emotions and thinking of the elderly.

4. Aging of the nervous system

The brain is the center of the nervous system. As the body's functions age, brain tissue will gradually atrophy. At this time, the number of nerve cells, nerve fibers and sensory organ cells will slowly decrease.

5. Urinary tract aging

Around the age of 50, the body's glomerular filtration rate will gradually decline, blood urea nitrogen begins to rise, renal tubular function significantly decreases, and urine concentration function also drops sharply. Therefore, after entering menopause, people often feel that they urinate more at night, have dark urine or feel residual urine. Symptoms of heart-kidney disharmony include irritability, insomnia, palpitations, dizziness, backache, forgetfulness, heat in the five hearts, pale red tongue, and weak pulse.

6. Cardiovascular aging

As people age, their hearts often become enlarged and their endocardium thickened. This may be due to increased connective tissue, lipid deposition, and calcification of the heart valves and other structures. In addition, vascular problems such as decreased elasticity and hardening of blood vessels, arteriosclerosis, and narrowing of blood vessels may also occur.

7. Aging of digestive organs

As we age, the smooth muscle fibers and glands of the digestive tract will gradually shrink, the gastric mucosa will gradually become thinner, and the colon and stomach cavity will slowly expand and lose elasticity. These changes occur gradually, so most of them are asymptomatic. However, if we do not control our diet, pay attention to hygiene, and maintain emotional stability, it will obviously induce.
