El envejecimiento en el hombre, la andropausia.

Aging in men, andropause

Men, also like us, experience a transitory state where their quality of life is affected, andropause.

From the age of 30, testosterone levels begin to decrease, at 45 the first symptoms of andropause are noticed and at 50 low testosterone levels already appear in 50% of men.

By age 60, more than half of men and by age 70, 70% have low levels of this hormone.

And what is andropause? It is a state in which there is a decrease in the levels of testosterone, a male hormone, but which we also have, although in much smaller quantities.
This decrease is related to aging, but other factors that trigger it influence such as alcohol consumption, certain drugs, obesity, infections... the previous lifestyle is key for these symptoms to appear sooner or later.

The symptoms that usually appear are greater fatigue, irritability, lower sexual desire and erection problems.

Testosterone is a key hormone in many functions in the body, its deficiency not only affects the sexual organs, but also in the bones causing demineralization, in the muscles creating fatigue and tingling, in the skin, causing aging and dryness.
Testosterone keeps cholesterol and sugar levels in balance, so a decrease can alter them and cause complications.
There is a greater risk of heart problems.

Men also gain weight like us, it accumulates in the waist and buttocks, and they lose muscle mass.

If you notice that your partner or friend is very sensitive, has insomnia, loss of genital hair and certain depressive states, pay attention!!! He is in the so-called andropausal crisis.

They also suffer, their self-esteem is affected. They lose energy and sexual desire, apart from having erection problems as I mentioned before.

If suspected, you should go to the urologist once a year and perform an analysis, measuring the levels of free and available testosterone in the blood.
The urologist is the professional who will guide you in this new stage, which we know all men go through, but some better than others depending on what their lifestyle has been like.
There is a genetic part but lifestyle is the key.
Healthy eating, sports, no stress, breaks, skin care...

The urologist will likely prescribe a replacement treatment to normalize blood levels and mitigate undesirable effects.

To raise levels naturally I repeat: healthy eating like eggs very often, garlic greatly improves men's sexual activity, avocado, oily fish, seeds, nuts, broccoli, blueberries...

A healthy diet and sports are key to avoiding overweight, and dancing!!

  • Dancing distracts, increases sexual desire and gives you security and confidence and improves self-esteem.
  • Drink at least 2 liters of water.
  • Communicate your feelings to friends or professionals, and do not isolate yourself.

What does replacement treatment consist of?
Andropause can be treated by replenishing testosterone levels by applying intramuscular injections, gels in different parts of the body or administering it orally, always in the hands of a professional.
This decrease in their libido affects us a lot, because we may think that they do not want us and that feeds back on the couple and leads to crises...
There must be an open dialogue to find out what is happening.
There are men who like to go with much younger women to improve their libido and self-esteem. But the problem lies within. It is a mirage because he feels that life is escaping him.
Satisfying a young woman sexually will not be so easy... and even less so if the woman also has high levels of testosterone...
In short, I think relationships between couples have to add value and be happy, NO MATTER THE AGE.
Real love, understanding and respect between two people, regardless of their age, is the key to being happy in a relationship. And nothing lasts forever, so live the moment to the fullest and accept that we all age, us and they, and we have to find formulas, be creative and innovative.
And everything ends except pure love that is transformed.

But another day we talk about love...

The tips to take care of the skin would be to always cleanse it well morning and night.

Boosters are not greasy at all, so they love them.
Onederful is also interesting as an activator of cell renewal and moisturizing.

But as I always say, it is better to do the personalized diagnosis with me so we will know better the lifestyle and routines you have and how to improve!

If you know someone who might be interested in this tip, share it!
