Male Menopause Syndrome

Male Menopause Syndrome

Question: Male, 50 years old: I often sweat at night and can’t sleep, but I feel fine during the day. I haven’t slept well for two or three days straight. How should I handle this?

Answer: Men in this age group who experience the above symptoms should first consider whether they have arteriosclerosis. Regular checks of blood pressure and lipid levels are essential. Secondly, they should also check for prostate enlargement. If there are no organic lesions throughout the body for now, it’s likely a disorder of autonomic nerve function. Both men and women experience menopause, but men typically enter menopause between the ages of 55 and 65.
