What are the symptoms of menopause?

Male menopause refers to a special stage when men transition from middle age to middle-aged and old age. It is a buffer period based on the changes in hormones, biochemical environment, and mental state from prosperity to decline in men. If the change process is too intense, it will have adverse effects on many human organ systems, mainly manifesting as certain psychosomatic abnormalities or clinical symptoms, including fatigue, memory loss, and decreased energy.

Specifically speaking, the key symptoms of menopausal syndrome in young men and women are as follows:

Middle-aged and elderly men who have the above symptoms and a decrease in blood cell testosterone levels, after eliminating the effects of other symptoms and therapeutic drugs, are reminded that the symptoms may be related to the decrease in testosterone levels. Trial testosterone supplementation treatment department further clarifies the relationship between symptoms and testosterone levels. Only when the experimental treatment is proven to be reasonable can the final diagnosis of LOH be confirmed. For patients with delayed male testicular dysfunction, the key to treatment in Western medicine at this stage is to supplement testosterone and take testosterone undecanoate capsules orally.
