Men also have Menopause (Part-II)

​Hot Flash
 
If your husband’s sweat doesn’t stop in a cool room where AC is on, it can be caused by male menopause.

The decrease of male hormone causes a malfunction of hypothalamus in the brain where controls the body temperature.

Treatment of Male Menopause
 
In the case that male hormone level is low, it is general to inject male hormone. Chinese herbs are used to suppress the symptoms (in Japan). Hormone replacement can make the beard thick. That means if the number of shaving decreases, that can be a sign of male menopause.
 
Anxiety
 
If your husband can’t throw things away due to anxiety or is anxious about the work he is accustomed to, they can be caused by male menopause.
 
1. Why does he get anxious?
The amigdada in the brain secretes a substance causing anxiety while male hormone suppresses the secretion. So if the male hormone decreases, the substance spreads out to the whole body.
 
2. What happens if anxiety caused by male menopause is left as it is?
Leaving anxiety as it is can cause depression. Continuous stressful condition causes the secretion of a lot of stress substance, leading to depression. That damages the nerve cells in the brain, worsening the depression. It is important to notice as early as possible.
