Male
menopause,
Does
the male menopause exist?
Both men and women
undoubtedly experience symptoms related to reduce production of sex hormones as
they get older. These changes are inevitable, but affect individuals
differently.
In women, the fall in sex
hormone production is quite abrupt and usually occurs over a few months or
years in their 40s or 50s. The ovaries dramatically reduce their production of oestrogens
(the female-determining sex steroids); a woman's periods become disturbed and
eventually stop (thus the term, menopause).
Menopausal women may also experience:
¬ Hot flushes
¬ Sweating
¬ Mood changes
¬ Weight changes
¬ Breast changes
¬ Alterations in sexual response, such as vaginal dryness
¬ Changes in the level of sexual interest.
In men, the fall in sex
hormone production is much more gradual, developing over decades rather than
months or years. Mental and physical changes can occur, but they are much more
subtle in onset and can easily be missed.
What
are androgens?
Androgens are steroid
hormones with specific effects on tissue growth (muscle, fat, skin, hair and
others) and brain function. They play important roles in both men and women,
but are produced in much larger quantities in men.

Several other effects on
body chemistry and metabolism occur, such as:
Ø reduction in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and
increase in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, which increases the risk
of developing coronary artery disease.
Ø Increase in total body fat (because of a fall in the proportion of
body weight that is muscle rather than through weight gain).
Ø Osteoporosis (a change in bone structure and strength that
predisposes the sufferer to fractures, particularly of the wrist, hip and
spine).
Ø Reduction in red cell volume (a reduction in the proportion of red
blood cells to plasma.
Consequences
of androgen deficiency
Ø Changes caused by PADAM could potentially affect health in several
ways:
Ø Increased risk of osteoporotic fracture and cardiovascular disease
Ø Reduced general well-being
Ø Depression.
Ø Cognitive impairment (problems with thought, concentration and memory).
