BodyLogicMD’s Top 10 Signs of Andropause (The Male Menopause)
Men go through menopause, too!
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (BusinessWire EON) May 24, 2007 — It's a real health condition and some are calling it “MANopause,” and the symptoms of andropause are often misleading. In accordance with National Men's Health Week June 11-17, the experts at BodyLogicMD, a national network of physicians specializing in anti-aging medicine and natural bioidentical hormone therapy, give advice on what to look for and how to treat the symptoms of andropause using bioidentical hormone therapy, fitness and nutrition. BodyLogicMD doctors diagnose men with the andropause every day and encourage men in general to watch for the Top 10 Signs of Andropause: 1. Irritability 2. Sleep problems 3. Diminished libido 4. Erectile problems 5. Muscle loss 6. Weight gain 7. Memory loss 8. Thinning hair 9. Decreased bone density 10. Depression Unlike women, who are more likely to be aware of many of the symptoms of menopause, doctors say men frequently mistake andropause for aging. “Men's symptoms appear over the course of a decade or more and it becomes a very slow, insidious process that they attribute to getting old,” explains BodyLogicMD's Gary Bernard, M.D. “As men lose testosterone, they begin experiencing male menopause - or andropause.” 39 health magazine man s Experts today say as many as 25 million American males between ages 40 and 55 are experiencing some degree of male menopause. One Andropause patient As a financial advisor and man health care product workaholic, one 46-year-old BodyLogicMD patient knew something was wrong.
“I would get really tired at around 2 or 3 p.m. everyday and couldn't maintain my mental focus - I would lose the ability to multi-task,” he says. “I man s health Instead of turning to caffeine, he turned to a BodyLogicMD physician to check and balance his hormone levels. “I was so relieved when I learned that I could manage my symptoms and get back to normal,” says this andropausal man. “I'm glad I didn't just chalk up my fatigue and forgetfulness to getting old.” Although the first study on male andropause was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in the mid-1940s, it's only recently that the U.S. medical community has taken notice of this condition. At the forefront of these medical important advances is BodyLogicMD. “Typically, men suffering from the symptoms of andropause are treated for a specific medical condition that is related, but not the root issue. Therein lies the problem,” Dr. Bernard says. “It is still common for an andropausal male to be misdiagnosed.” For example, a man may be diagnosed with depression and prescribed an antidepressant. Both the doctor and patient think the man's problem is addressed. However, if that man has other symptoms of male menopause, such as loss of libido, the antidepressant will only exaggerate that problem. “Modern day medicine is changing the way we diagnose and treat men suffering from andropause,” says Dr. Bernard. “BodyLogicMD physicians play a critical role in this movement.” About Dr. Gary Bernard BodyLogicMD's Dr. Gary Bernard is the CEO of Pointe Medical Services, Inc., a Family and Internal Medicine practice.
