The menopause of women has been widely recognized by the medical profession and society. It is a transitional period from the gradual decline to the final disappearance of female genital-ovarian function. The basic physiological change in this process is that the function of the ovary to secrete estrogen decreases, and the most prominent manifestation is amenorrhea. The age of occurrence is generally between 45 and 55 years old. However, in men, the decline of reproductive function is gradual. Even if the elderly can still maintain normal functions, they still have reproductive ability.
The ability of men to produce sperm can last up to 90 years old or even longer. So, do men have menopause? On this issue, the medical profession has also argued for many years. Some people think that men do not have menopause, and some people think that men have menopause. In recent years, the opinion tends to be unanimous. Men do have menopause.
Men have the scientific basis for menopause. The function of male reproductive organ - testis has also gradually decreased. The pituitary gonadotropin has also gradually decreased, and the male hormone secreted by the adrenal cortex has also decreased. Due to the decline of the functions of various endocrine glands in the body, the demands of the organs under control for essential endocrine hormones are out of balance, resulting in various discomfort symptoms. However, male testicles are not as easy to atrophy as female ovaries, and the function of testicles is gradually reduced, so the secretion of androgens is also gradually reduced. Unlike women, estrogen decreases sharply with the cessation of menstruation. Because of this, in the menopause, the various physiological reactions of the male body are not as significant as those of the female.
Men will have physical discomfort symptoms during menopause, which is generally considered to be slightly delayed than women. Some people will be around 40 years old or delayed to more than 70 years old. Middle-aged men find that their physiological function is reduced, their physical strength is decreased, and the rest time is increased. They begin to feel functional decline, and often have a series of changes, such as dizziness, depression, and behavior disharmony, which means that they have entered the last change period of life - menopause.
But the weight of individual performance varies greatly.
The clinical manifestations of male menopause are similar to some of the symptoms of women, and most of them are symptoms of nervous and vascular disorders. Such as the inhibition of sexual desire and the loss of sexual function, hot face, trance, fatigue, insomnia, forgetfulness, fat accumulation, body fat, back pain and other uncomfortable symptoms are often mistaken for suffering from certain diseases.
