Manopause: Mid-Life Crisis, Male Menopause & Andropause
“Manopause,” often referred to as male menopause or andropause, is a term used to describe the transitional period in a man’s life characterised by hormonal changes and associated physical and emotional symptoms. While not a medically recognised condition like menopause in women, manopause represents a significant phase of life that many men experience as they age.
Mid-Life Crisis or Natural Transition? It is more easily recognised that men go through a phase that is referred to as the “mid-life crisis”; a period marked by feelings of dissatisfaction, restlessness, and a desire for change. However, manopause goes beyond a simple crisis of identity; it encompasses physiological changes that can affect various aspects of men’s health and well-being.
Understanding Andropause: At the core of manopause is andropause, a term used to describe the decline in testosterone levels that occurs naturally with age. Testosterone is a key hormone in men responsible for maintaining muscle mass, bone density, libido, and overall vitality. As testosterone levels decline, men may many symptoms:
Navigating the Challenges: While manopause is a natural part of the aging process, it can present challenges for men as they strive to maintain their physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Seeking support from healthcare providers, therapists, or support groups can help men navigate this transition with resilience and grace.
Embracing Change and Growth: Despite its challenges, manopause can also be a time of growth, self-discovery, and personal empowerment. By embracing change and prioritising self-care, men can navigate this transitional phase with confidence and emerge stronger and more resilient.
Manopause represents a significant phase of life for many men, marked by hormonal changes and associated physical and emotional symptoms. By understanding and acknowledging these changes, men can take proactive steps to support their health and well-being as they navigate this natural transition
