Male Menopause Symptoms

Male menopause symptoms are not as commonly acknowledged as female menopause symptoms. Part of the reason is the macho image that keeps men from admitting something is wrong and also, because of their monthly cycle, females have always been thought of more in terms of hormones than men.

Also, more study has been done in regard to women, hormones and menopause than has been given to male hormones and menopause symptoms.

Mens health is actually just as dependant on proper levels of hormones as women but mens health doesn't seem quite as prone to hormonal fluctuations, so the term, male menopause symptoms, is sort of a new term as far as public health awareness.

Following are a couple simple tests to help you evaluate whether you may have male menopause symptoms. However, this is not a cut and dried test, just an indication. To confirm, you need to have further testing done.

If you are certain you have menopause symptoms, the good news is that if you decide to try naturally increasing testosterone levels or using a professional progesterone cream to balance excess estrogen, it is easy to do and you can try it without worrying about serious side effects or having to obtain a prescription.

Testosterone deficiency: This is most common in men over the age of fifty, and can be remedied with special nutritional supplements, muscle-building exercise and supplemental hormones including natural testosterone, progesterone, and DHEA. You can find details in Dr. Lee's booklet, Hormone Balance For Men. It is also recommended that you get a saliva hormone test to find out which hormones would be best for you.
