Jack (pseudonym) is nearly 50 years old and has served as a supervisor in a listed company. He is kind to treat his subordinates and is well-received. However, his behavior in the first and second years has changed. If he is not active, he will be difficult to control his subordinates and will also make a big fuss. He feels frustrated after this impulse is common. What's worse is that he takes his depressed emotions home, and then starts another storm with his wife; he is irritable, insomnia, unable to raise his "sexual" interest, unable to concentrate, and faces challenges in work and family life.
During a health check project, he accidentally glanced at the "Male Menopause" project. Through questionnaire and blood tests, he found that he had a hypotestosterone situation, which turned out to be "Male Menopause". Finally, after education and proper testosterone supplementation, his work and family life improved, and the whole person suddenly became clear. According to the epidemiological statistics, about 30% of men between the ages of 40 and 70 will experience menopause. But unlike women, men do not have such clear boundaries as stopping, and they can tell that their gonad function is deteriorating. Because of this, the issue of "male menopause" is often overlooked.
Menosterone decline after 40
"Male menopause" is a more common general term. It is clinically called "Late Onset Hypogonadism" or "TDS, Testosterone Deficiency Syndrome". This refers to the gradual decline of androgen function in men after 40, especially the decrease in testosterone secretion, which is caused by physical and mental disorders caused by changes in hormone secretion in the body.
The main symptoms include depression or depression, hot and tidiness, palpitations and sweating, decreased libido, difficulty in erection or premature ejaculation, lack of vitality, prone to burnout, insomnia, poor attention, weight gain, increased body fat, muscle relaxation, and decreased muscle strength.
The diagnosis was mainly based on the design simple questionnaire of Professor John E. Morley of St. Louis University (ADAM, Androgen Deficiency in Aging Male), and as a screening for testosterone deficiency, testosterone concentration in serum was evaluated in combination with blood extraction.
Correct psychological conditioning: To improve the "male menopause", the most important thing is to clearly understand that male menopause is also part of the normal physiological changes of the human body, and to clearly understand that life is entering another stage. Through correct psychological conditioning and family support, we can survive the lows of our lives.
Narrows are considered for the inappropriate symptoms that occur during the period, and the treatment of supplementing male hormones can be considered by the doctor.
As Professor John E. Morley said, hormone replenishment should focus on "being better motor and psychological preparation after increasing testosterone, and being able to face menopause positively."
