What Every Man Should Know About: Male Menopause

Contrary to popular belief, women are not the only ones who go through menopause. Male menopause (or andropause as it’s sometimes referred to) is very real, but it is quite different from its female counterpart. Male menopause happens much more gradually than female menopause, and is not accompanied by sudden symptoms like hotflashes. However, it can cause a whole host of rather unpleasant symptoms like erectile dysfunction, hair loss, weight gain, and lethargy, to name a few.

The symptoms are brought on by a decrease in male hormones like testosterone and human growth hormone. Fortunately, there are a number of treatments available including exercise, diet change, hormone therapy and other lifestyle changes.
