Male menopause, aka andropause, is a decline in testosterone in men as they age. Unlike women's menopause, which happens around the ages of 45 to 55, there isn't a specific age for male menopause. Though a natural part of ageing, it can affect a man's quality of life. Here's how to manage it.
Ensure regular exercise, a healthy weight, a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins, and stress management through meditation or yoga in your lifestyle.
For hormone regulation, overall health and well-being, 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night is essential.
Rather than letting your family or career pressures consume you, it's important to ensure healthy social connections to handle andropause and its emotions well.
If you suspect you have symptoms of male menopause, take hormone tests and go for doctor-recommended hormone replacement therapy to boost testosterone levels. It can also alleviate fatigue and mood changes. Discuss the potential risks as well
