Age Matters: Do men also need hormone therapy? | February, 2010

A recent article published in the Roanoke Times discussed the male menopause and what men can do to relieve symptoms. When it comes to menopause, women have a pretty good idea of they can expect. Men on the other hand have been kept in the dark on the issue. The fact of the matter is, andropause (the male menopause) is real and affects millions of American men each year. In women, menopause refers to a variety of changes taking place simultaneously, such as waning estrogen and progesterone levels.
