Perhaps many people believe that menopause is a disease that belongs to women and has nothing to do with men. In fact, among some men aged 40 to 70, many may experience symptoms such as mental tension or fatigue, which is medically known as male menopausal syndrome. This indicates that men also have menopause. Below, we will introduce the symptoms of male menopausal syndrome.
Osteoporosis: For men, the increase and maintenance of bone mass are closely related to male hormones. According to statistics, one out of every eight men over the age of 45 suffers from osteoporosis, and by the age of 70, the incidence of hip fractures will sharply increase.
Prostate hyperplasia: Many men also experience frequent urination, urgency, difficulty urinating, fine or interrupted urine flow during menopause, which is the symptom of prostate hyperplasia. Prostate hyperplasia is a common disease in middle-aged and elderly men, and almost all men over 30 years old will find it in pathological examinations.
Sexual dysfunction: It is a common phenomenon for men to experience a decline in sexual function as they age. Perhaps someone may ask, "Isn't the decline in sexual function due to a decrease in testosterone? Isn't it enough to supplement testosterone?" Ma Shengli explains that sexual desire and sexual function are often confused, but in reality, they are two different things. Male hormones only affect sexual desire rather than sexual function. The increase in testosterone leads to an increase in libido rather than sexual function. If excessive supplementation of male hormones increases sexual desire, but the function is still low, it may make people more painful.
General's belly: Changes in male body size are also related to hormone levels. Experts pointed out that the general belly not only affects the appearance, but also is called "central obesity" or "pear shaped body" in medicine. This obesity is most likely to cause chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, dyslipidemia, etc.
Through the above introduction, I believe that everyone, especially male friends, has a clear answer to the question of what symptoms menopausal syndrome is. This also wakes up the alarm for male friends to correctly understand their physical changes, provides a good platform for them to pay attention to their physical health, and also hopes that men can pay attention to their physical health.
