Male Menopause Treatment

Male menopause treatment can be a bit of a gray area due to the fact that most men simply do not seek any treatment. Those who do seek treatment rarely realize they are going through menopause, they may just think there is something else wrong with them. Doctors often will not even make mention of male menopause when discussing treatment options.
Obviously, male menopause is still a taboo amongst most men.

Male menopause treatment is often difficult to undertake due to the fact that the signs are difficult to diagnose. In most cases, the effects of male menopause are treated, rather than the cause as is the case with female menopause.

Thankfully, doctors and specialist are beginning to acknowledge the existence of male menopause and are devising treatments for men who are going through it in their middle age.

Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) treatment now exists for male menopause, just as there is the very well known Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) for women. The aim of Testosterone Replacement Therapy is to bring the level of testosterone back to a healthy level. When the testosterone levels are increased men will notice less symptoms than they had before the treatment. It should be noted that Testosterone Replacement Therapy is NOT a treatment for impotence or erectile dysfunction.

Not all men will go through male menopause, unlike women who unfortunately can't get out of it. When women go through menopause they ultimately lose their fertility. This does not happen to men and is the reason why men can continue to reproduce well into their older years.

Male menopause treatment has undergone tests and studies which have not clearly proven that TRT improves sexual function in older men. It does however treat the lifelong problem of testosterone deficiency. That is, the treatment usually lasts for life if it is to be effective; it is not a short term treatment for male menopause.
