There comes a
time in many men's lives when they are faced by the "Male Menopause",
"Andropause". This equivalent of the menopause in the female is
often less sudden in onset but can be just as severe in its long-term consequences. |
|
|
Fatigue,
depression, irritability, and reduced libido and potency are the commonest
symptoms. Besides lack of sex drive, there is often loss of drive and competitive
edge in professional or business life. Physically, there is frequently stiffness
and pain in the muscles and joints, and a rapidly falling level of fitness. There may also
be signs of the accelerated ageing of the heart and circulation which testosterone
deficiency can cause. |

|
Experience
has shown that the main causes of the andropause are stress, excess alcohol,
overweight, infections, lack of exercise, and vasectomy, added to the general effects of
ageing ... that there may sometimes be a low absolute level of
total testosterone, but more often a relative deficiency of "free
active testosterone" due to a range of factors stopping it working
effectively - the engine is pushing but the brakes are on!
