Male Menopause: It’s Real And Here’s What You Need To Know
Male Menopause Treatment
Unless male menopause is dramatically damaging one’s quality of life, most doctors will not prescribe anything beyond some lifestyle changes. These might include:
- Getting more sleep
- Increasing exercise – including muscle-building weight lifting
- Practicing stress-relief exercises like meditation and yoga
- Eating a healthy diet
In some cases, a doctor might prescribe anti-depressants or recommend therapy for men experiencing severe depression or mental health changes as a result of the condition.
Hormonal therapy such as artificial testosterone is available. However, due to its potential side effects, it is rarely recommended.
