Andropause
Andropause -The existence of Andropause is now recognized by the medical world - including the Canadian Andropause Society - and by Canadians alike.
In fact, a recent Angus Reid survey found that 70% of the general public share the belief that men experience a mid-life stage similar to women's menopause. Andropause (also called "male menopause") is a normal part of aging; although, for some men it is accompanied by a gradual and undesired decline in their sexuality, mood and overall energy. Sometimes it can even expose men to more serious health risks.
Not all physicians agree on whether this gradual drop in testosterone levels needs treatment. Lifestyle changes such as adequate exercise, low fat, vitamin rich diet and measures to reduce work stress may improve many of the symptoms associated with Andropause without the need for hormonal supplementation.
