What is Andropause?

(0)
Thursday, October 22, 2009

Andropause is the term that is used to describe the period in a man’s life when his hormones, namely testosterone slowly diminish and other hormones such as estrogen begin to increase. The primary difference between andropause and menopause is that during menopause, women’s hormones shift rapidly and in men the fluctuation is much more gradual.

It wasn’t until recently that the mainstream medicine accepted that “menopause” really did exist and actually affects millions of men each year. Many men are plagued by symptoms such as low libido, weight gain, fatigue, depression, irritability, loss of muscle mass and erectile dysfunction. There are many other factors that play into andropause. Other hormonal imbalances such as adrenal fatigue and thyroid disorders often contribute to many of the symptoms related to andropause.

Aside from your hormones, many other factors play a role in the onset of andropause such as environmental toxins, high stress levels, improper nutrition and lack of exercise.
