Male menopause does exist as the researchers found, although it is not as common as female. British researchers were able to identify three main signs of "male menopause."
The study, published in the journal New England Journal of Medicine, reported that the male version of menopause can not be determined only at a reduced level the male hormone Testosterone . A prerequisite is the availability and the other three signs: the absence of morning erection, decreased sexual drive and erectile dysfunction. Moreover, these symptoms must be present at the same time.
Male menopause Unlike the female are covered by no more than 2% of men are believed by scientists from the University of Manchester, and Imperial College London. They tested 32 different symptoms that could potentially be associated with menopause, such as fatigue, low energy, impotence and depression. By the end of the study identified three key features.
If they are connected to the low levels of testosterone Then we can talk about the case male menopause . This man, scientists are advised to seek the help of a doctor and start treatment with hormones. As for other popular symptoms that many of the traditions recorded in the signs of "male menopause" (low concentration, a feeling of worthlessness, difficulty getting up from a chair, etc.), they are not related to male menopause and can be eliminated.
The head of the study, Professor Fred Wu said that diagnose male menopause still difficult, as there is often a man has a normal level of testosterone in addition to sexual dysfunction that can afford to assume the presence of menopause. It is interesting that this study came after other experts wrote in the journal Drug Therapeutics Bulletin that no evidence of male menopause does not exist.
