Women over the age of 50 will face menopause. But it’s not just women; men also experience a form of menopause. After around 45 years old, men will start experiencing symptoms that are similar to menopause in women, such as irritability, fatigue, and exhaustion. So, if a wife suddenly notices these symptoms in her husband, she should try to understand and not argue over trivial matters, as it may indicate that her husband is going through a male menopause.
Next, let’s discuss in detail the symptoms of male menopause and how to deal with it easily.
The term “male menopause” is less common, coined from abroad. Men transitioning from middle age to old age go through a process similar to menopause in women, accompanied by symptoms. If left untreated, it can significantly impact the quality of life and lead to health issues. Hence, it should be taken seriously.
In recent years, symptoms of male menopause have been observed earlier, hinting at an accelerated aging process. This trend is closely related to daily life: fast-paced living, coping with various stresses, and developing various diseases. Common diseases among men include hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia, and cardiovascular diseases. Coupled with lack of exercise due to daily fatigue, obesity can result, triggering multiple diseases that constantly threaten life.
Now, let’s talk about common symptoms of male menopause. Men’s emotional stability decreases as they age, with various bodily functions declining, including memory, cognitive function, and focus. Consequently, they become emotionally unstable, appearing cold and indifferent, avoiding interactions, all typical signs of male menopause.
Depression may also arise, leading to disinterest in all aspects of life, approaching situations with negativity, engaging in conflicts over trivial matters, experiencing increased errors at work, heightened tension in daily life, and persistent daydreaming.
Decreased physical fitness causes aged men to feel fatigued, weak overall, struggle with sleep quality (insomnia, early awakening, easy disturbance from noise or dreams), and wake up with back pain and weakness in the legs.
Men in menopause may also experience symptoms like indigestion, lack of appetite, early satiety, bloating after meals, tastelessness, and difficulty passing stools.
These symptoms are the most common in men experiencing menopause. Another telltale sign is reduced bodily functions, which can lead to minor issues or, in severe cases, to conditions such as depression, ultimately affecting daily life.
To alleviate male menopause, it’s crucial to stay positive, manage stress, communicate with family, engage in social activities, pursue personal interests, participate in group activities and exercise regularly to enhance physical fitness, boost resilience, prevent illnesses, and relieve discomfort associated with menopause.
