Andropause, the “male menopause”: 7 facts and symptoms you didn’t know about it

Anxiety, irritability, low morale… Many men go through this period with  an unstable mood . The hardest part? Not understanding  the real origin of this malaise . Recognizing that these disorders can be linked to a  hormonal imbalance  allows  them to be managed more calmly .

  1. It doesn’t just affect « seniors »

We often think that andropause only affects  older men . However,  some men feel its effects as early as 40 , or even earlier depending on  lifestyle, diet, stress levels or genetics . It is therefore important to  listen to your body , even when you are young.

  1. We can take action (and it feels good!)

Good news: andropause  is not inevitable . A  balanced diet ,  regular physical activity ,  effective stress management ,  and  appropriate medical monitoring  can significantly alleviate symptoms. In some cases,  supervised hormone therapy  may be considered. Talking to a healthcare professional is  the first step toward lasting well-being .

Andropause is neither a taboo nor a weakness: it is a new phase of life, to be approached with lucidity, kindness and self-listening.
