女性在50岁左右经历更年期,但您是否知道男性也在40岁末至50岁初也经历“男性更年期”?您怎么知道您是否正在经历这个阶段?以下是一些常见症状: 

  • 忧郁症
  • 性欲丧失
  • ED(勃起功能障碍)
  • 情绪波动和烦躁
  • 失眠
  • 短期记忆  
  • 能源短缺

“男性更年期”

However, unlike menopause which females go through, ‘male menopause’ happens gradually. Symptoms in female menopause can be seen instantly as they are the result of a sudden drop in estrogen. For men, it is a steady decline – less than 2 percent a year starting from the age of 30 to 40. With this slight decline, it is unlikely that it will result in any significant changes. Any of the symptoms listed above are unlikely related to hormones. Therefore, ‘male menopause’ is a myth though the symptoms are similar to menopause. 

这些症状更有可能是由于心理问题,例如压力,抑郁和焦虑。这些可能来自工作,经济问题或家庭问题。 “中年危机”也可能是一个因素!有时缺乏睡眠或不良的饮食习惯也可能是一个因素。但是,如果感觉不对劲,最好去看医生,因为可能存在其他导致“男性更年期”的健康状况,例如性腺机能减退。 

迟发性性腺功能减退

性腺功能减退是指睾丸几乎不产生激素。但是,这种情况通常在出生时就存在。年轻时患有这种疾病的人到了小睾丸就会进入青春期。 

有时,它可以在生活的后期发展。但是,请注意,这种医疗状况不是衰老过程的一部分。这种情况很少见,通常发生在患有2型糖尿病或肥胖症的男性身上。 

那么,如果您遇到“男性更年期”症状该怎么办?

1.健康饮食

首先要调整饮食,以包括鸡蛋,鱼类,蓝莓等超级食物,而这些食物是omega-3脂肪酸和蛋白质等营养物质的重要来源。但是,仅从食物中是很难消耗所需的每日营养摄入。如果您无法从膳食中获取足够的营养,请从信誉良好的来源获取补品!
