Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling particularly agitated and irritable. My child said I have menopausal syndrome. Do men also have menopause?Doctor's answer:
The male menopause, also known as andropause, is primarily caused by insufficient excretion of male hormones, leading to a series of changes and symptoms. Medically, this condition is also referred to as partial androgen deficiency in aging males. Not all men experience this condition. Approximately 40% of men aged 40 to 70 may experience menopausal symptoms. Male menopause patients often exhibit reflective but less insightful characteristics. Men experiencing menopause should pay attention to their diet, focusing on digestible amino acids and consuming more fish, meat, yam, sesame, and fermented beans. They should also digest sufficient vitamins, such as carrots and lettuce.
