Do you still get horny? Do you still get wet? (I know that at menopause you stop your period.) Do guys reach a certain point where they stop getting horny or stop getting erections or stop ejaculating? Just curious.

Menopause
Lanetta M asked:


I have some of the early symptoms, a few hot flashes and a couple of missed periods but nothing too bad so far. I just want to find out if there is anything natural that will help balance things so that all my hard workouts and correct eating will not be counteracted by the imbalance of hormones. Thanks so much.

Paul Hata asked:


The condition and the symptoms of male menopause are comparable to the ones women experience and can sometimes be as worse. However male menopause does not affect all men, at least not with the same inclusion. Only some of the men between the age of forty and fifty can experience the condition and most of the symptoms of male menopause.

All the changes that occur in every man during the male menopausal period can affect every aspect of their lives. Male menopause is recognized as a physical condition and manifests in personal, psychological, social and spiritual dimensions.

Men also experience difficulties in hormonal fluctuations that affect their sexuality, mood, and personality like women. It is only one of the manifestations of the aging process of a man, where changes comes and make the person better out of it.

All men going through male menopausal can experience hormonal changes that greatly affect their lives. The levels of hormones will lower at their mid-life and may have changes which are usually associated with male menopausal. It is important to mark that every man has a unique personality and their individual levels of hormonal loss may vary widely. They have different outlook in life and strategies of living with satisfaction.

If the level of hormones lowers, it can be the cause to the decrease in sex drive and the general well being of their health. The occurrence of these things will also lead to the increase of depression and weight gain and absolutely will change the day to day living as compared to their lives before the onset of male menopause.

During the menopausal period, some men can experience problems with regards to impotence. Wherein it is the constant inability to achieve and maintain an erection that is enough to have a satisfactory sexual performance. And because of impotency, men are having lowered sexual desires.

How can a man recognize that he is going through that certain stage in life, the menopausal period? There are some symptoms to be aware of. Some are physical, some are psychological, and some are sexual. The following are the symptoms that a male is going through a male menopausal period.

Physical symptoms of male menopause include:

- Recovery from injuries and illness takes longer

- Gaining weight

- Difficulty reading small print

- Loss or thinning of hair

- Sleep disturbances

- Low libido

- Worry and fear for life

Sexual symptoms of male menopause include:

- Decreased sex drive

- Fear of sexual impotency

All the symptoms that a male can experience during the male menopausal period can be treated. Although men have been suffering from either physical, emotional or sexual symptoms of male menopause, you need to control it not through attempting self-diagnosis but by talking to a doctor, this will lead to being better informed and getting the proper treatment to alleviate the symptoms of the condition.

Sam Patterson asked:


Its Coming…..whether you like it or not if you are a woman in you mid forties or early fifties. You may start to notice that your body is changing, and not sure why. It may be that your periods are not the same or you are not sleeping as well as you used to. The changes may be subtle and you probably aren’t paying much attention to them until one day, if you’re like many women, it happens-a hot flash! It will catch you by surprise and leave you thinking, “I am too young for this”. Then it will hit you, could this be the start of MENOPAUSE????

Menopause is an important part of a woman’s life. It is characterized in stages - premenopause, perimenopause , menopause and post menopause. It is essential to understand the body’s changes during this phase of life in order to ease the transition, and equally important, better prepare yourself to safeguard your health during your later years.

Stages of Menopause.

1. Premenopause Premenopausal or Early Menopause typically happens before the age of 40. The signs of Premenopause are similar to Menopause. You may experience hot flashes, emotional problems, vaginal dryness, and decreased sex drive. Unfortunately for some women premenopause symptoms can be quite severe. Also the chance of chances of getting osteoporosis and breaking a bone are much greater during this stage. Women in this stage tend to get weaker bones faster. A common suggestion is to increase the consumption of calcium rich foods such as milk, cheese, and green, leafy vegetables during this stage.

2. Perimenopause - means “around menopause” and marks the interval in which your body begins its transition into menopause. It includes the years leading up to menopause - anywhere from two to eight years - plus the first year after your final period. Perimenopause is usually experienced by women from 35 to 50 years of age. During this stage your estrogen level rises and falls unevenly. Your menstrual cycles may lengthen or shorten, and you begin having menstrual cycles in which you don’t ovulate. It’s only during cycles when you do ovulate that you can become pregnant. When perimenopause starts and how long it lasts varies. It’s a natural part of aging that signals the ending of your reproductive years.

3.Menopause - Menopause, or the permanent end of menstruation and fertility, is a natural biological process, not a medical illness or a disease. Menopause is caused when your body decreases permanently or to low levels the production of estrogen and progesterone. Your ovaries will stop producing eggs and you will no longer be able to get pregnant naturally at least. As your body is going through “The Change” this may result in Menopause symptoms. Many women wonder if these changes are normal, and many are confused about how to treat their symptoms. You can feel better by learning all you can about menopause and treatments available. A common recommendation for this stage is to make sure you are eating healthy, exercising, and living a healthy lifestyle.

A sign that you have reached Menopause is when you have not had your period for 12 months in a row and there is no other reason for this happening.

4. Post Menopause -Is the stage after menopause has occurred. It is generally believed that the postmenopausal phase begins when 12 full months have passed since your last menstrual period. You may notice your hot flashes are milder or non-existent now and energy levels may be back to normal. It is important to continue a healthy lifestyle during menopause and there’s no reason to stop after. For many women Post Menopause constitutes a second stage of life, Enjoy it!!!

Now that you have read this article you should have a better understanding on what is menopause and the stages your body goes through. As mentioned the process is unique for each individual and for some it may bring hot flashes, sleepless nights, weight gain and more.

Most important, even though menopause is not an illness, you shouldn’t hesitate to get treatment if you’re having severe symptoms. Many treatments are available, one of the most popular is the Natural Supplement, To find out more information head over to Menozac

Menopause
Shelley Ross asked:


Menopause is a time of life that most women dread, but if you’re an endometriosis sufferer, menopause may be the break you’ve been waiting for. Why? Menopause is a normal part of aging that virtually every woman experiences. It is the time when estrogen levels drop and the ovaries no longer produce eggs. As a result, a woman no longer has a menstruation cycle due to the natural cessation of ovarian function. Menopause is the end of a woman’s reproductive cycle.

Menopause usually occurs naturally for most women when they are in their late 40’s or early 50’s. However, some women may be pushed suddenly into menopause at any age if they have their ovaries removed, or take certain types of chemotherapies for cancer treatment.

Although menopause has its own host of unpleasant symptoms that a woman is forced to deal with as her body adapts to change, it has been known to have one positive side effect for endometriosis sufferers - It often puts an end to painful endometriosis symptoms.

To help you fully understand the positive influence menopause has on endometriosis, the following are some answers to common questions regarding the issue:

How does menopause improve endometriosis symptoms?

The hormone estrogen is no longer produced during menopause. Estrogen is what stimulates endometriosis growth. Thus, most women no longer feel pain, as the endometrial tissue no longer grows or breaks down because the menses cycle has ceased.

Does menopause cure endometriosis?

No, you need to understand that menopause does not cure endometriosis. However, for most women, it seems to put it in an eternal state of sleep. Nevertheless, symptoms of endometriosis can still occur at any time, even though for most women not taking hormone replacement therapy this is rare.

Can endometriosis symptoms still occur after menopause?

Yes. For some women, especially those who have a severe case of endometriosis and experienced strong symptoms prior to the stop of their cycle, endometriosis can still persist after menopause, especially if a woman has scar tissue. Often the reason why endometriosis persists is due to hormone replacement therapy that provides the body with estrogen, which is taken by women to help with menopausal symptoms.

Is hormone therapy necessary for menopause?

No. However, some women who go through menopause take hormone replacement therapy to help prevent and treat osteoporosis. Estrogen plays an important role in building and maintaining strong and healthy bones. Lack of estrogen causes cells that build bone to become less active, which increases the risk of bone loss.

Aside from keeping bones healthy, estrogen also plays a big role in keeping the vagina moist, helping it to guard against infection. Thus, many women take estrogen hormone replacement therapy for these reasons. Unfortunately, estrogen stimulates the growth of endometrial implants, which can lead to a recurrence in painful symptoms.



There are different ways you can help treat your menopausal symptoms caused by lack of estrogen without dramatically increasing your risk of reactivating endometriosis symptoms. Talk to your doctor about your condition. He or she may be able to provide you with treatment that limits the amount of estrogen you give back to your body, or they may be able to prescribe you creams or other treatments to help with vaginal dryness and other menopausal symptoms.
