Men have to go through four stages during menopause

When it comes to the menopause of men, many people may find it funny. It is said that women have menopause, but not men. In fact, men also have menopause, and men need to pay attention to the four stages of menopause. So what are the four stages of menopause? Let's take a detailed look.

What are the four stages that men have to go through during menopause?

1. Energy: Exercise regularly when young

Foreign research has found that about 10% of men begin to experience menopausal symptoms when they are around 40 years old; this proportion increases to about 30% when they are 50-60 years old; and after they reach 60 years old, about 80% of men have some symptoms of menopausal syndrome. Among them, decreased energy is one of the typical manifestations.

2. Mental state: more comfort from family members

As with women, men’s menopause is often accompanied by a series of mental and emotional changes, which even affect relationships with family and friends. With the decline of energy and vitality, many middle-aged and elderly men who used to be the “backbone” of work and family begin to doubt their own ability to work, their self-awareness decreases, and they become more and more dependent on others.

3. Sexual desire: Don’t be too demanding when it comes to sex

When people reach 40, the feeling of "having the will but not the strength" of their married life is a worry for many men, and even becomes a problem that affects the relationship and emotions between husband and wife. In fact, this may be caused by the menopause of women.

4. Symptoms: Check your body regularly

Menopause is a major turning point for the human body, which changes the mentality, body shape and vitality. Most people's skin and muscles just start to loosen, body fat just starts to accumulate, and the body gets fatter, slowly turning from a young man to a "fat old man".

What should men do during menopause?

1. For middle-aged and elderly men, they should pay attention to a healthy diet and balanced nutrition in their daily life. The increase in hip circumference and weight may indicate that women are entering menopause early.

2. Try to reduce the intake of high-calorie foods such as sugary, salty, and oily foods; eat more foods rich in protein, high-quality protein, and a variety of nutrients, such as chicken, fish, and other fatty meats; eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, in which the rich vitamins can help eliminate metal oxides in the body and help prevent aging.

3. The three meals should be distributed properly, do not overeat or overdrink, do not eat too much at dinner, do not eat before going to bed, etc. The most important thing to remind you is that drinking less alcohol and quitting smoking can not only protect the cardiovascular system, but also help to alleviate and relieve the symptoms of menopause.
