The Journal of the American Medical Association published the first study on the state best known as the male midlife crisis in 1940. However, in recent years, doctors started to get the right attention this condition, also known as andropause. Even today, treatment methods are not as extensive as they are structured or, ideally, should be, because, unlike menopause, male menopause is not generally known or easily recognized as a medical condition.
Failure to recognize this condition as a specific problem has led many doctors to treat the symptoms of andropause in their patients, instead of digging deep to find and treat the real cause. For example, hair loss resulting from andropause can be considered an aesthetic problem by the physician, who can go to prescribe the treatment for hair growth. However, the underlying disease, andropause, ignored or overlooked and this can lead to successful treatment of hair loss problem or create other problems for the symptomatic patient. It 'important for men to guard information in order to recognize the symptoms of andropause as they begin to experiment.
What is Andropause?

Andropause is actually caused by the gradual decline of testosterone, the primary sex hormone in men. Studies show that this decline may begin even in the 30s. The decrease is so gradual that most people are not aware of the changes it brings. The effects of andropause can manifest itself in many ways, weight gain, muscle weakness, increased cholesterol, etc. These are such common age-related changes that are very easy to make the mistake of neglecting the underlying cause as andropause.

Medical experts believe that at the age of 70 years the level of testosterone in the male body are reduced by almost half. This condition is aggravated by other existing medical conditions such as diabetes, thyroid imbalance and prostate cancer. Since these conditions usually develop with age, older men, probably from the effects of andropause feel more than younger men. Andropause is accelerating the signs of aging resulting in wrinkles. When there is less of testosterone in the body, the body loses muscle mass and tends to look narrow.
Treatments for Andropause
TRT or testosterone replacement therapy is a common treatment for andropause. A bio the same shape of testosterone in the form of injections, tablets, creams or the loss of hormones in the body to fill. This is one of the most effective treatments for the elderly, especially those with heart disease or diabetes.
The elderly also benefit from the use of herbs such as Damiana, Muira Puama and Saw Palmetto. Since these natural remedies are considered less dangerous side effects, many elderly men with andropause prefer this over other OTC medications.
