Diseases Symptoms Treatments

When discussing this topic, the first important note to make is that menopause is a normal, biological process that nearly every woman will experience. It is not a disease, and should not be treated as such. This time of a woman’s life can occur anywhere from the age of 30 to 60 years, but the most common time for menopause to begin is when a woman hits her 40’s or 50’s. Menopause prior to the age of 40 is considered early or premature menopause, depending upon the cause.

While menopause for women gets plenty of attention from the medical profession, male menopause is a lesser known but highly common issue as well. Some studies show that up to 40% of men from the ages of 40-60 will experience some symptoms of male menopause.

This decrease can result in symptoms just like female menopause can, but the symptoms of male menopause can be more subtle in nature.
