Does the male menopause actually exist? Some in the medical profession are convinced it does. They’ve even come up with a name for it which is called the andropause. After all, why do people think that a change in the body during the midst of mid-life is something that only women should experience?

Looking at the Facts of the Male Menopause

Let’s look at this in a little more detail. Men do change during middle age, but this change in their behaviour has always been mocked as the mid-life crises is referred to as a silly period. Well, isn’t the female menopause a midlife crises too? There are behaviour changes, the brain causes us to look at things differently, health issues arise, though life threatening, but unaffordable health conditions all the same, and in general there are feelings of uncertainty, inferiority, and morbid reflection.

Women have hormonal changes yet men have issues with testosterone. Men’s health, physical, emotional, and spiritual, takes a battering just as much as a women’s.

There have been numerous announcements made by medical experts in recent years to suggest the andropause is very real and should be taken as seriously as the female menopause. If gone untreated, or the man is told to snap out of his so called midlife crises, then there’s a real danger than his midlife transition of body and mind could cause him pain and distress of 10 years or more, just as it has done for all the generations before him.
