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.
