Male menopause age

Male menopause is caused by the degeneration of testicular function. The degeneration and atrophy of the testicles is slow and gradual, the secretion of sex hormones is also slow, and the production of sperm does not completely disappear during menopause. Male menopause comes later and the time of occurrence is very inconsistent. The age of onset is generally around 55-65 years old. The clinical manifestations vary in severity. In mild cases, the symptoms are not even noticeable, while in severe cases, the symptoms affect life and work, and the patients feel very painful.

The mechanism of male menopause syndrome is mainly due to testicular atrophy, decreased testosterone secretion, feedback stimulation of the pituitary gland to increase secretion function, atrophic testicles to reduce the response of gonadotropin, resulting in an imbalance in the body's sex hormone regulation function.
