Andropause
In aspect human physiology, both male and female have turning-point in one's life that relates to hormone: andropause to male and menopause to female. Though they are different in process, but they are same into nature, all of developments from adult to the elderly. Know and understand the symptom of andropause to prevent and treatment is the way to a man ready mind for the next period of his life.
As the same to woman in menopause, the andropause occurs with man is from 40 to 50 of ages. But it is not similar menopause of woman because of phenomenon to stop menses is a landmark of transition, the andropause of man is stage happens slowly.
However both of sex has decrease in hormone (testosterone to male and estrogen to female). Changes in body of man happen very slowly and may attach to changes in makings, way of living, such as: reveal tired, decrease ardency, desire to sex and even agility on constitution. Many researches show that the deficiency of hormone testosterone can cause both of male and female must face many risks for health as heart disease and weak bone.
Not like menopause, transitional stage of man change to andropause happens more slowly, it can extend many decade. Way of live, psychological stresses, drinking much wine and beer, being trauma or having surgery, use medicament in all kinds, obeseness, being bacterial contamination. all of these are factors have a part in exposing phenomena of andropause.
Although testosterone has decrease in accordance with age of man, but it cannot be forecast the man whose phenomena of andropause is exposed to such an extent that its seriousness need to be help. And it cannot also be forecast the man of which age is having andropause. The andropause is with each man very significant particular nature, the phenomena with each ones is different.
Diagnosis and treatment
Normally the andropause is difficult to diagnose because its phenomena are often equivocal and different from each other. Moreover the turning-point in female's life happens evident and sudden (by stopping menses) while the secretion of man's hormone begins decrease as soon as he is 30 years old and continue reduce in 3, 4 and even 5 next decades until end of his life.
The symptom with age which is considered signs of this phenomenon of the andropause is as disturbance of priapism, a decrease of bulk of muscles, easy to be stimulated, tired and even have problem about memory and reorganization, etc.
Falling into sexual glands decline is considered a great cause of many problems. When this decline is diagnosed, the patient is immediately injected, applied on the spot, used medicated plaster or implanted the supplementary testosterone.
But the complicated question of using substitute male hormone that is very different in normal concentration according to each person (someone can have sexual normally but the concentration of male hormone is just 1/2 or 1/3 compared with this in the other). Moreover if supplement too much testosterone that exceeds the normal level, it may cause unpleasant effects, even dangerous. For this reason it is obligatory to follow careful using medicine.
Testosterone concentration starts to decrease on man of about 30 years old and each 10 years later this decreases in 10%. Predicted that there is about 30% of man 50 years of age and 50% of man above 65 who have testosterone concentration lower level that symptom is realizable.
The long-term risks of low testosterone concentration are found out more. Testosterone takes the roll of maintaining cardiovascular health, preventing from osteomalacia and assist to other functions of body.
