At what age do men enter menopause?

Many people think that menopause is only experienced by women, but in fact, men also experience it. Male menopause, like female menstrual period, is a period of change in the body's constitution, and is the turning point from prosperity to decline. However, due to physiological differences, male menopause is not exactly the same as female menopause, and the symptoms are not as obvious as female menopause. Below, I will give you a detailed introduction to the age of male menopause and related knowledge.

Medical research shows that the reproductive system of men generally begins to deteriorate around the age of 30, and the secretion of male hormones gradually decreases. When male hormones drop to a certain level, symptoms similar to those of female menopause will appear.

Men's body starts to decline after the age of 45-55, which is later than women's. Like women, various organs in the body also age, but for men, the main effect is on the testicles. After the age of 40, the weight of men's testicles gradually decreases, and they begin to shrink at the age of 50. Both the ability to produce sperm and the ability to secrete male hormones such as testosterone are weakened. There are also certain changes in pituitary gonadotropin, and the male hormone secretion of the adrenal cortex is also reduced. Men at this age stage often have some symptoms of varying severity, but not as rapid as women's ovarian ageing and estrogen reduction.

Male menopause is mainly caused by the decrease of testosterone in the male body, so it is also called "partial androgen deficiency in middle-aged and elderly men". After the age of 30, the testosterone in the male body decreases by 1% to 2% each year. After the age of 50, the testosterone level in the male body is only half of that before the age of 30. At the age of 70, the testosterone level in the male body is only 10% of the hormone level of 25-year-old men. According to statistics, nearly 40% of men over the age of 40 are troubled by menopause, which lasts for several years or as short as a few months.

Now you know the age when men begin menopause. During menopause, men's physical strength and sexual desire gradually begin to decline due to stress and fatigue. Male friends don't have to worry too much about this. This is a process that everyone has to go through. Just face it positively. Maintain an optimistic and open-minded attitude, insist on exercising, and don't worry about trivial matters.
