MENS HEALTH / HORMONE REPLACEMENT
What is andropause or male menopause?
Andropause is a medical phenomenon, similar to the female menopause that can affect men between the ages of 40 and 55. Unlike women, men do not have a clear-cut signpost such as the cessation of menstruation to mark this transition. Both, however, are distinguished by a drop in hormone levels. Estrogen in the female, testosterone in the male.

What can I do?
Regular exercise and a good diet are essential as well as a good form of stress reduction. If these are not enough then Hormone Replacement Therapy might be an option. Hormone Replacement Therapy may help reverse some of the negative effects of low testosterone. Bio-Identical testosterone is the same molecular structure and might produce the same effects as the free form of testosterone produced by the testes.

Regular exercise supplemented by a healthy diet are the two best things to prevent or deal with andropause and menopause. But I have been researching Bioidentical hormone therapy and have found that this can really help suppress symptoms of andropause/menopause that have already occured. I would encourage others to look into this like I did.
