Methods to Relieve Male Menopause
1. Don't tolerate physical discomfort
Many people have a wrong understanding of menopause and think that they have entered the ranks of the elderly. They endure various physical discomforts for a long time, which eventually leads to more serious problems.
2. Don't be petty in dealing with things
Realize that you have entered menopause and deliberately take a more open-minded view of things, not being petty and maintaining optimism and cheerfulness.
3. Get to bed early and rest
Maintain regular daily routines, have a balanced diet, have regular sleep patterns, strike a balance between work and rest, ensure sufficient sleep time, and avoid staying up late.
4. Engage in full-body exercise
Exercise can improve bodily functions and delay aging. However, after menopause, physical strength, muscle elasticity, bone strength, etc. all decrease in men. Therefore, exercise should be appropriate, moderate, and long-term.
5. Supplement enough protein
Adequate protein is necessary for men during menopause in order to meet the body's needs. Eggs, milk, and legumes are the main sources of protein.
6. Soothe fragile emotions
First and foremost, family members need to have a correct understanding and understanding of this condition, recognize the fragile side of male psychology, understand the abnormal emotional reactions of men at this time, actively listen to their complaints and nagging, and comfort and encourage patients to face the physiological and psychological changes positively.
