Do men undergo menopausal period? Let's find out!

3 min read

Menopause is an oft-discussed topic when it comes to women. But what about men? Does menopause affect men as well? It’s a question that many people don’t often consider. 

In this article, we’ll dive deeper into the topic of menopause in men. Also we’ll answer the questions – do men undergo menopausal stages and at what age do men menopause?

Menopause in men and its symptoms

Menopause or andropause is a transition period in a man’s life. Typically, it occurs between the ages of 45 and 55. It is characterized by a drop in testosterone levels. This can cause a variety of physical, emotional, and psychological changes. 

Furthermore, these changes can include increased irritability, decreased libido, reduced sex drive,  hot flashes, night sweats, and difficulty sleeping. Menopause may also increase one’s risk of developing certain medical conditions, such as osteoporosis, heart disease, and prostate issues.

Potential causes of menopause in men

Menopause in Men: Causes, Symptoms and Treatment

Men don’t experience menopause in the same way that women do. On the other hand, there are potential causes that could lead to a similar decline in hormone production. These potential causes include the following:

  • Aging
  • Lifestyle factors such as smoking and alcohol
  • Medical conditions such as diabetes, obesity, and testicular damage

Treatments for menopausal symptoms

Menopausal symptoms can be debilitating and unpleasant for men, as well as women. There are a few treatments that have been found to be especially effective for menopausal symptoms in men. 

These treatments include hormone therapy, medications, and alternative remedies.

  • Hormone therapy – one of the most common treatments and involves supplementing hormones that the body stops producing after menopause.
  • Medications – such as antidepressants and anti-androgens, can help alleviate menopausal symptoms in men.
  • Alternative remedies – such as acupuncture and herbal supplements, can also be used to reduce menopausal symptoms.

Lifestyle modifications to manage menopause

Menopause marks the end of a man’s reproductive years. Although it may be an uncomfortable time for some men, there are several lifestyle modifications that can help them manage their symptoms.

First and foremost, men should make sure to get regular physical activity. Exercise helps to reduce stress and depression, both of which can be common during menopause. Additionally, exercise can help boost energy and improve sleep.

Secondly, nutrition. It is also important, and men should focus on eating a healthy, balanced diet. Avoiding processed and sugary foods can help control blood sugar levels. Men should ensure they are getting enough calcium, Vitamin D and other essential nutrients as well.

Finally, men may want to consider practices such as meditation and yoga.
