Tip #2/30 – ANDROPAUSE
What is Andropause and how do you stop it?
Andropause is characterized by a decline in testosterone production and the symptoms are generally related to a reduction in sexual function.
It is also known as ‘late onset hypogonadism’.
Some features of andropause include:
Diminishing libido and erectile function,
a reduced desire for sexual intimacy and relationships,
and a decline in general well-being.
And NO ONE wants to talk about it.
The most concerning symptom for men – and these are the patients we see – is an inability to get, or maintain, an erection (Erectile Dysfunction aka ED).
Erections that don’t last, don’t feel full, don’t feel strong, are not enough to penetrate – these are the main consternations we hear from our patients.
ED can be considered vasculogenic (related to poor blood flow), psychogenic (your head is getting in the way), or hormonal.
Sometimes it’s a combination of all 3 – but for the majority of men above the age of 50 – the issue is vascular and circulatory in nature.
ED is a complex condition that can categorized as either mild, moderate or severe.
This can be determined through some simple questionnaires and honest self-reporting.
Ultrasounds can also be considered to measure blood flow (Doppler) and look for anomalies in the penis (Penile), as well.
Either way, at FocusWave Clinic, we will advise you on how to work on all 3 forms of ED to get you back to where you need to be, and work to halt the regression caused by Andropause.
