Andropause also known as “Manopause” – by Dr. Shaida Sina
Men begin to experience hormone imbalances as early as their 20’s. One of the first signs of hormone imbalance includes thinning of hair, poor erections, lower back pain, fatigue, loss of motivation, and poor sleep. Due to toxicity, nutrient deficiency, and stress; anabolic hormones can convert to less desirable hormones such as DHT and Estrogen. Men begin to lose about 2% of natural production of testosterone starting around age 20, so typically by the age of 40 a man could potentially have a 50% loss of testosterone.
If you or someone you know is experiencing the following symptoms, Andropause may be the problem: fatigue, depression, anxiety, anger, irritability, poor memory, increased belly fat, decreased muscle strength, loss or decrease in morning erection, low sex drive, poor erectile firmness, male breasts, and or urinary problems.
Male hormone imbalance and deficiency is treatable; however, just giving testosterone is an incomplete answer to the problem. A comprehensive hormone program with nutrition and lifestyle program is the key. Our world is toxic, so it is imperative to rule out endocrine disruptors which are chemical or heavy metal messing with hormone function or production.
When circulation and muscle strength decreases, erectile function may decrease. Erectile medications are not the answer but a Band-Aid. It is important to realize erection function goes hand and hand with heart function. The heart is the most important muscle in the body, poor erections may be a sign of much more; therefore, it is important to look at the whole person when designing a wellness program.
