What is Male
Menopause And How Does it Cause Premature Ejaculations?
Putting the Men in Menopause
Male Menopause (also known as Andropause, Climacteric, Male Climacteric
Syndrome, or Viropause) is a relatively new term. For a long time,
it was very difficult to research because men who experience the
sexual repercussions in their middle age were reluctant to acknowledge
the condition. Due to the lack of participants inquiring about their
sexual difficulty, often times this condition will go untreated.
However, some researchers have been studying Male Menopause for
decades, along with the effects of aging on reduced levels of male
hormones.
Symptoms
| “Male
Menopause can also affect a man in his 20s” |
The symptoms of male menopause can be linked to penile shrinkage,
difficulty maintaining erections, and premature ejaculation. Unlike
its female counterpart, andropause does not affect all men. Only
40% of men in their 40s, 50s, and 60s experience some degree of
lethargy, depression, increased irritability, mood swings, and difficulty
in attaining and sustaining erections. Let it also be noted that
due to some circumstances, outside of simply aging (See Causes Below)
Male Menopause can also affect a man in his 20s.
Male Menopause can also have somewhat of a snowball effect, especially
if a spouse or significant other does not understand. In these cases,
a man can experience anxieties and doubts, which can lead to impotence
and increased sexual frustration.
A recent study surveyed 1700 middle-aged men and found that 51%
of normal, healthy males age 40 to 70 experience some degree of
sexual problems - defined as a persistent problem attaining and
maintaining an erection rigid enough for sexual intercourse, as
well as an increase in premature ejaculation.
Menopause Cause
In addition to aging, Male Menopause can also be caused by:
- Low levels of testosterone
- A poor diet
- Lack of exercise
- Excessive masturbation
- Stress
- Hormone deficiencies
- Excessive alcohol consumption
- Smoking
- Hypertension
- Prescription and non-prescription medications
- Poor blood circulation
- Psychological problems

Other symptoms that are sometimes linked with old age, but can
also be attributed to the negative effects of Male Menopause are
back pain and joint pain in the ankles, knees, shoulders, and wrists.
The Verdict
Many doctors have varying opinions on Male Menopause and its effects,
however most agree a general decline in male potency at midlife
can be expected in a significant proportion of the male population.
Though there is very little that can be done about getting older,
there are certainly things you can do to fight the symptoms of aging.
