Menopause describes the stage in a woman’s life when her menstrual cycle stops due to a drop in hormone levels. Although male sex hormones gradually wane, experts see an increased frequency in men with debilitating symptoms in their 40s.
In an attempt to shed light on this problem, doctors are working to raise awareness of the physical effects of low testosterone on the male body, according to the British newspaper Express.
Without adequate levels of sex hormones, both men and women will experience some symptoms, but these signs may vary by gender.
It is known medically as male menopause, as the symptoms of male menopause appear more gradually compared to the symptoms of female menopause.
Although there is little evidence that this low testosterone causes health problems in men, some physical changes may appear.
Symptoms may begin to appear around the age of 45, leading to erectile dysfunction, depression, anxiety, and rapid fat gain.
As testosterone levels drop, men may notice decreased muscle mass and increased body fat.
“In men, lower testosterone levels tend to occur more slowly and be present at any age, and most men are less likely to present with a sudden onset of low symptoms,” said Dr. testosterone.”
The decline in hormones in men is slower than it is in women because the testicles do not run out of the materials needed to produce testosterone.
All men are born with testosterone, but levels increase rapidly during puberty to enable the growth of body hair, larger muscles, and a deeper voice.
Men continue to produce sperm into their 80s, but subtle changes may affect the way the testicles function around age 50.
How is male menopause diagnosed?
In order to determine if a patient has a testosterone deficiency, doctors will likely perform a physical examination and ask about symptoms.
Doctors may order tests to rule out medical problems that may be contributing to the condition. Alternatively, a blood test may be used to measure testosterone levels.
If low testosterone levels are shown in the results, this could be an indication of an underlying problem with the pituitary gland.
According to figures from the University of Wisconsin in the United States, low testosterone may affect about 12 percent of men in their 50s, 19 percent in their 60s, 28 percent in their 70s, and 49 percent in their 80s.
The results indicate that the decline in testosterone may begin around the age of 40 and continue into a man’s older years.
Until now, doctors haven’t found a way to prevent low testosterone from damaging the testicles or pituitary gland.
It may seem counterintuitive to replace testosterone, but research has not shown that it improves the overall health of the average elderly man.
