Male Menopause More Years
Male Menopause More Years, More Problems? We are, without a doubt, the longest lived
species of Homo sapiens in recorded history.We get older, were taller, heavier; we certainly regard life from a
much richer and easier position than our forebears.There is virtually no other sentient being that would like to
kill and/or eat us or hunt us as prey. Things werent the same for the great majority of our ancestors.Our earliest
relatives lived to about twenty years old, if they were lucky, and if they managed that long, they died of old
age.They were prey to some fierce animals, ate basically what they could find, and if they lost enough of their
teeth it was curtains because they couldnt chew anymore. Our forebears during the Dark Ages perhaps lived a few
years longer.They mostly had the advantage of a roof over their heads and grain, and if they were lucky, pulses
(peas and lentils etc) to eat.They were still victim to filth, disease, and some pretty strict Liege Lords who
could kill or execute at their fancy. Hurtling forward into the latter years of the nineteenth century, people got
to live somewhat longer than their Dark Age relatives, but still didnt get to have much fun.My fathers parents
emigrated from Russia and Eastern Europe to find no gold on New Yorks streets but filthy tenements and insane
working conditions. They had a roof over their heads, and perhaps their American Liege Lords had to have a bit of a
better reason to kill them than they were in a bad mood.They were still victims to filth and disease, but, their
children were going to get a much better deal all round. My father used to boast that while his father was lucky to
be a few inches over five feet tall, he was a strapping six footer with a college education. If you are wondering
what my point is, it is this:We have the means to live many years its true, but there are a few dark spots in our
shiny new life span.We may be starting to have some influence over our genetics, but we cant maintain proper
hormone balance yet.Women and men are required to go through the change of life, no matter how difficult it may be.
For males, especially, the science of managing their male menopause is only in its infancy, indeed, the medical
community still hasnt finished the argument as to whether it truly exists or not.Women, strangely enough, have had
more years of science devoted to their menopause.(That, and as women through the eons, they managed to talk to each
other and swap herbal therapies along with some gossip). But for our more unfortunate brothers, they simply have
not lived long enough for medical science to study what to do when a man enters his middle years and begins to have
some hormonal problems. The good news is that western science is not only beginning to make some inroads into this
problem, they have started to pay attention to ancient Chinese medicine, where, apparently, somebody had time to
notice male menopause and work out what to do about it.As the baby boomers encounter this phase of their life, they
will be luckier than the generations beforehand.
Andropause Male Menopause
Males experience the reproductive change involving the connection between the testicles, the hormone testosterone, the brain, and the pituitary. The female changes involve the pituitary gland and the brain as well as the ovaries. Hers is more abrupt and his is a very gradual change.
