Loss of energy during male menopause has not been in the public spotlight because men who experience these characteristics decline in virility during middle age are typically reluctant to acknowledge the condition.

Understanding Andropause: How It Results In Loss of Energy

Medial research in endocrinology and reproductive medicine now offers a comprehensive treatment program for male menopause and there are solutions for most health problems associated with the condition, be it lack of vitality or loss of fertility-both of which are closely linked.

A physician who treats male menopause, can, using sophisticated blood tests, determine if your testosterone level is normal or below your normal range and prescribe changes in diet, nutritional supplements and possibly a change in lifestyle to renew your feelings of vigor and vitality.

Symptoms of Male menopause: Loss of Energy a Natural Effect of Lowered Testosterone

As men age, their male hormone, testosterone production decreases and with it, so does the normal functioning of the liver and kidney; these effects can be seen in decreased muscle mass, and a resultant increase in body fat. All these changes can cause andropausal men to feel a change in self-image and productivity, resulting in a loss of energy.

Mental Attitude during Andropause: How Loss of Energy Affects the Male Mind

When men go through Andropause due to low testosterone production, it can result in lack of vitality, and often men report experiencing a loss of drive at work and at play. Many andropausal men feel they have just lost the ‘get up and go’ attitude of earlier days and suffer from poor concentration, failing memory and an inability to plan a series of moves.

Physical Repercussions of Male menopause: Loss of Vitality

• The loss of muscle mass occurring during male menopause, causes loss of muscle strength, and the resultant muscle weakness is a matter of concern for many men. Without being aware of it, men find themselves using their hands more often just to get out of a chair or up the stairs. If left untreated, this loss of energy in andropausal men may lead to a gradual wasting (shrinking) of the muscles.
   
• The loss of energy during Andropause also manifests itself in other ways, such as men feeling very tired by early evening or falling asleep in front of the TV.
   
• Many andropausal men complain of a frequent stiffness, aching in muscles and joints and health experts believe that these problems are linked with reduced fitness levels.

Loss Of Vitality And Treatment Options For Menopausal Men

In the Andropause years, due to the decline of testosterone, loss of vitality is a common complaint of many men. Though there are many influencing factors in male menopause, not all have been fully agreed upon by scientists and doctors.

However, among the known contributors to Andropause problems are excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, hypertension, previous vasectomy, hernia operations, mumps, prostatitis, varicocoele, prescription and non-prescription medications, poor diet, and lack of exercise, poor circulation and severe physical or emotional stress.

TRT, which is hormone replacement for men, brings a degree of relief for men to restore vitality and improve sexual functioning, muscle strength and general well-being. These supplements help in bringing the testosterone levels into the high normal range.

Currently, creams, troches, tablets, injections, implants and transdermal patches are available for testosterone supplementation.
