What is male menopause?

Nowadays, the pressure of society is very high, and people are busy every day. Human life is so long and short, and often in this short life, menopause is inevitable. Whether you like it or not, it is slowly approaching you. So what is male menopause? Let me introduce it to you today.

Male menopause, also known as male menopausal syndrome, refers to a series of pathological changes and clinical symptoms caused by the decline of male testosterone secretion. It is medically known as partial androgen deficiency in middle-aged and elderly men (PADAM). About 40% of men between the ages of 40 and 70 will experience menopausal symptoms due to partial testosterone deficiency.

Generally speaking, after men reach the age of 50, the function of male hormones (androgen) will gradually decline, especially the secretion of testosterone will decrease. This physical and mental disorder caused by the change of hormone secretion in the body is the so-called male menopause.

1. As men age, their kidney qi gradually weakens, and the supply of essence and blood becomes insufficient, which is called "liver yin blood deficiency" in traditional Chinese medicine. 2. Some men begin to secrete less male hormones due to factors such as physical decline, illness, overwork, mental stress, and excessive social pressure.

3. Due to changes in one's own physical constitution, one cannot regulate the body by oneself, resulting in a series of functional disorders.

4. Unhealthy lifestyles such as smoking and alcoholism can easily trigger the early onset of menopause.

Skin aging folds

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.

Cardiovascular aging fold

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. Vascular dysregulation: Sometimes, they may have a fever like a child, even kicking off the quilt, feeling hot and restless, having headaches, dizziness, and palpitations.

Digestive organ aging and folding

As we age, the smooth muscle fibers and glands of the digestive tract will gradually atrophy, 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 be obviously induced. Liver and kidney yin deficiency: Symptoms include dizziness, back pain, tinnitus, sweating, irritability, red face, hot hands and feet, dry mouth and throat, short and red urine, red tongue, and thin and stringy pulse.

Through the above introduction, I believe everyone has a lot of understanding about male menopause. Once men reach a certain age, they should try to drink less and smoke less. Because bad living habits will also cause menopause to come prematurely. Moreover, menopause will induce many diseases and cause great harm to the body. It also has a great impact on people's memory.
