Do men also have menopause? What are the symptoms?

Many people think that only women experience menopause, but in fact this is not the case. Men also experience menopause. This is because the body structures of men and women are different, so the manifestations of menopause are different. Many people wonder if men have menopause, but why there is no evidence of it in daily life. Today I will give you a detailed introduction to the professional knowledge of male menopause.

Do men have menopause like women?

some.

The age at which men enter menopause varies. Currently, about 30% of men experience the clinical manifestations of male menopause between the ages of 40 and 70. This is known as "partial male hormone deficiency in older men."

After the age of 40, about 10% of men begin to experience symptoms of menopause; at the age of 50-60, this proportion expands to about 30%; and after the age of 60, about 80% of men have some symptoms of menopause. When androgens drop to a certain level, symptoms similar to those of women's menopause will appear. Due to physiological differences, male menopause is different from female menopause. They do not have data signals such as menopause that are just beginning in women, and their symptoms are not as obvious as those of women, and the probability of their symptoms appearing is also lower than that of women.

Main symptoms of male menopause

1. Easy to get tired and lack of energy

Suggestion: In this case, male friends should exercise regularly to maintain physical charm and enhance the body's immune ability.

A Japanese scientific study concluded that several types of jobs are prone to menopausal syndrome: bank employees, teachers, architects, core personnel of companies, etc. In addition, people who work in brain-intensive jobs and rarely exercise, or those who have participated in sports competitions but suddenly stopped, are more likely to develop menopausal syndrome. Among them, decreased energy is one of the typical manifestations.

Mrs. Wang, 45, is a "lazy person" who doesn't like fitness and never wants to exercise. In recent years, she often feels that her energy is reduced and she is easily tired and sleepy, so she doesn't like to go out for exercise and likes to stay at home after work.

Of course, some men will feel a decrease in athletic ability, and they will feel sore legs after a little exercise. For example, they can't walk as far as before when walking or climbing, and it is more difficult to lift objects than before.

It is a common phenomenon that middle-aged and elderly men have decreased energy, which is a natural law of decline. However, many adults can maintain a perfect figure and sufficient energy, which is related to persistent exercise. Therefore, maintaining a regular lifestyle and often signing up for some outdoor activities and games will help improve the body's vitality and prevent decreased energy.

2. Bad temper and sudden changes in personality

Suggestion: In this situation, the most important thing is for family members to pay attention to tolerance, give more comfort, and have more understanding.

As in women, male menopause is often accompanied by a range of mental health changes that can affect relationships with family and friends.

Ziqi, a freshman in college, found that his father had changed recently. He was easily angry and emotionally unstable (he was definitely not like that before). He often made his mother unhappy and complained and blamed her for everything. This had been going on for many months. His relatives suggested that he see a doctor, but he was determined not to go to the hospital for an outpatient visit.

In fact, men in menopause tend to be more sensitive and irritable, and lose their temper when something goes wrong. They may be tired and depressed, feel oppressed, have reduced memory, thinking and concentration, dislike things around them, and have reduced professional ability. They have poor sleep quality and insomnia, and have unexplained numbness and pain in their bodies, or dizziness, cold limbs, body aches, tinnitus, dizziness, etc., but routine physical examinations show no organic disease. They often feel restless, afraid, or powerless. They lack confidence in doing things and are easily entangled in trivial matters of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

When middle-aged and elderly men have mental symptoms, is it the main manifestation of male menopause? This requires in-depth analysis, because there are many factors that affect the mental state of this link, such as retirement syndrome, which may also have mental discomfort. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a physical examination to eliminate organic diseases that may cause mental symptoms. If menopausal syndrome is caused by a decrease in growth hormone, you can take a small amount of androgen under the specific guidance of a doctor.
