Hormonal change and menopause are two words that can make a big difference in a person's life. When hormone changes are talked about, most people think of women. But now, hormonal changes don't just happen to women. Men also go through them.
Menopause is a normal and natural time in a woman's life when she stops having periods and ovulating. This means that she is no longer able to have children. Andropause, on the other hand, is a word for menopause. Since men don't have periods or ovulate, menopause is a way to prepare them for second adulthood. Andropause means that a man's first adulthood is over.
When a woman hits her 40s, she may start to go through menopause. Some women start menopause at age 50, while others don't start until age 60. Men, on the other hand, can begin to go through andropause as early as age 35 or as late as age 65.
Most experts agree that andropause is a good thing. While female menopause is when women start to feel negative emotions and thoughts, andropause is when men feel these things.
When a man goes through andropause, he will go through a big change. Change is unavoidable on all levels, from the psychological to the social to the interpersonal to the spiritual. "The end of the beginning" is what andropause means.
Research shows that once a man goes through andropause, he can get a lot of benefits.
The main benefit of male menopause for men is that it helps them grow up. When men first become adults, they usually focus on what they can do. But as they move into their second adulthood, they are more concerned with "the being" or "the self" this time.
In terms of their careers, they are more likely to do their jobs because they "love to work" than because they have to. Men tend to see other men as friends when it comes to social relationships. During the first years of adulthood, men deal with each other as competitors.
A man also grows in his personal relationships. He cares more about making his partner happy and getting closer to her. Andropause could mean that the brain-draining "battle of the sexes" is over, which could mean that he can give up and let his partner win some arguments. You leave your ego and pride behind. It changes into a deep understanding and a lot of patience.
A sexual relationship can also help men grow up. During the second stage of adulthood, being sexually satisfied is more important than putting on different sexual performances, which is what usually happens during the first stage.
During menopause, a person may start to feel like they are missing something. Others may react based on how their bodies tell them to. No matter what menopause does to your life, good or bad, you still own your mind, body, and heart. If you feel better after going through andropause, you are one of the lucky ones. If it makes your life hard, on the other hand, it's time to admit that you need help. First, you need to realise that you are changing, and then you need to tell your partner about it. Show them what they need to do to help you get across the line. If things are still too hard to handle after you've tried everything you can do to help yourself, it's time to call in an expert.
Having a good attitude is the most important thing you can do to get through male menopause.
