Overcoming Andropause – Practical Solutions to Managing Testosterone Deficiency in Men looks into the controversial topic of male menopause, medically referred to as andropause or testosterone deficiency in aging men. Although andropause is often referred to as male menopause, it shouldn’t be confused with women menopause, even though some doctors have reported a few similarities between the two conditions. While women experience a sudden change in hormone levels and a subsequent end to reproductive cycle, male menopause is usually a gradual process.
For many years men shrugged this phenomenon off as an unavoidable part of the aging process, even as the other part of the society, particularly the media, lightly referred to it as ‘Midlife-crisis stage.’
It should be expected that the hormones produced in the testes will ordinarily decline as men grow older. However, the declination comes with a cluster of symptoms, emotional and physical changes, including sexual dysfunction. It’s also associated with more serious conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease among others. Nonetheless, the good news is that many researchers have lately focused their attention on this phenomenon, with medical community being equally devoted to what can be done clinically about the condition.
Throughout my work as a marriage counselor and psychotherapist, I’ve seen many couples grapple with sexual dysfunctions, physical and emotional problems related to this condition and other hormonal imbalances. This book is aimed at demystifying testosterone deficiency in aging males (andropause) through profound discussions on what it’s all about, its causes, symptoms, who gets it and why, as well as sharing practical guidelines on diagnosis, management and treatment plans.
Some of the things you’ll learn include:
Understanding the mysteries about testosterone deficiency syndrome (andropause or male menopause)
Historical facts about testosterone deficiency in aging men
Chances of getting andropause
The impact of testosterone deficiency (andropause) on patient’s health
Risks of undiagnosed andropause
Diagnosis and what to expect in the doctor’s examination room
Testosterone replacement therapy, natural and other complementary treatments
