Male Menopause, a Reality
Sunday, December 14th, 2008I am right in the middle of my 5 brothers and I have to say that I am ever so grateful for having each and every one of them in my life, it played havoc during my childhood having so many brothers in the house, but as the years pass we have certainly become closer and we now appreciate each other on a much more mature level then “back in the day”
The eldest of the pack is now reaching the age of 50 and has found himself having to visit his doctor(s) more and more due to all of the testing that is now recommended when you reach that milestone in life and hit the big five 0. During his latest visit his doctor informed him with the straightest fact (so my brother tells us) that it was perfectly normal to have to pee a lot more than usual and not to trust his farts!
With that thought in mind, he was then told that he was experiencing the onset of Male Menopause, which of course threw my Big Brother for a complete loop (this obviously threatened his masculinity) and he demanded an explanation immediately, in which the doctor spoke briefly about this situation, handed him several brochures and pamphlets in order to read up on the little know health issue that is affecting a good amount of men out there that don’t even know such a thing exists.
More information is needed on my part and I intend on doing my own research on the subject online and prepare myself for something that is sure to be heading my way, if it is anything at all that is hereditary, my day will soon be here before I know it. I would like to know before hand, I hate surprises and I’m grateful for the Internet for all the information that I’m sure it will be supplying about this curious health concern.
