At what age does male menopause begin?

I believe everyone knows that people living in this world will definitely encounter many setbacks and influences. Menopause is an inevitable problem in people's lives. Many people are not able to adapt to menopause when it first comes, and they are prone to anger and are particularly sensitive to many things. However, everyone knows that women are most likely to suffer from menopause, but there are also many men. So at what age does male menopause begin? Let me introduce it to you today.

When men reach the age of 45-55, various organs in the body also age, and the testicles are no exception. 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 secreted by the adrenal cortex is also reduced. Men at this age stage often have some symptoms of varying severity, but not as fast as women's ovarian aging and estrogen reduction. Although the function of men's reproductive organs, the testicles, has a gradual decline, it does not completely lose its function. This is the fundamental difference from women. Men who enter old age from middle age do not have the obvious signs of ovulation and menopause, as well as the obvious autonomic dysfunction symptoms that women have. Because testicular aging and testosterone secretion decrease are slow, many men can adapt to this slow process, so generally no symptoms or reactions occur. However, there are also a considerable number of men who cannot adapt to this change and will also have some symptoms. Since these symptoms are also caused by testicular atrophy, functional decline, and decreased sex hormone secretion, they are the same as female menopause, so they can also be called male menopause. Because the male gonadal function declines slowly, the menopausal symptoms of men also appear later, generally occurring between the ages of 55 and 65, about 10 years later than women. Symptoms of male menopause are generally mild and subtle. Common symptoms include nervousness, neurasthenia, fatigue, irritability, agitation, depression, headache, back pain, dizziness, facial fever, palpitations, abnormal sensation, memory loss, difficulty concentrating, sexual dysfunction, etc. When male menopause has the above symptoms, sedatives, sleeping pills, and analgesics can be taken, such as chlordiazepoxide, phenazine, painkillers, and oryzanol. If necessary, testosterone propionate can be used for treatment, 25 mg each time, twice a week, intramuscular injection, for 3 consecutive months. Or methyltestosterone can be taken orally, 5 mg each time, 3 times a day, for 3 consecutive months. If the symptoms are relieved by taking testosterone, it can be further confirmed that the patient suffers from male menopause syndrome. Chinese medicine Buzhong Yiqi Decoction, Liuwei Dihuang Pills, Yougui Pills, etc. are also effective.

Through the above introduction, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of the age at which men begin menopause. In fact, the symptoms of male menopause are often milder than those of females and are easier to relieve. You can relax and do more exercise. Or take some important auxiliary treatments.
