Managing Male Menopause: Taking Action for Physical and Psychological Well-being

November 28, 2023

We know that men experience a certain degree of decline in male hormones after entering middle age, which affects their physiological and psychological balance. As a result, some men start to enter a phase known as male menopause, characterized by a series of symptoms. So, what should men do during this stage? How can they manage male menopause? Most men rely on their self-esteem, willpower, and sense of responsibility to get through this period, even though they may feel extremely distressed. However, they usually do not deviate from their normal behavior and avoid negative consequences such as family crises or career failures. On the other hand, those men who experience more severe symptoms are often met with a lack of understanding, sympathy, and even blame and neglect.

Experts advise that once men enter male menopause, the most important thing is to trust the doctor, as doctors will not blame patients. Therefore, whether it is the men themselves or their loved ones, they should actively learn from doctors' scientific attitudes and methods to manage the physiological and psychological aspects of male menopause and alleviate various symptoms. So, what can men do to manage male menopause?

1. Men going through male menopause should engage in regular physical exercise or other activities that can activate both body and mind. Ideally, they should participate in such activities once a day, at least three times a week. These activities can improve their self-perception, making them feel energetic and physically and mentally healthy.

2. No matter how much they dislike their work, men in male menopause should not accommodate themselves. They should continue to perform their daily work and academic research, striving to maintain their previous study and work habits.

3. Men should avoid making major changes to their lives during male menopause. They can choose one or two new things to do to achieve temporary psychological satisfaction, but they should never destroy the basic structure of their lives.

4. Men should refrain from two things during male menopause: alcohol and women. They should avoid excessive drinking and extramarital affairs.

5. If men feel that their male menopause symptoms are severe, they should seek help from experienced doctors or consider psychological counseling. Doctors can provide psychological guidance to patients while also prescribing medication to alleviate symptoms such as insomnia, headaches, and erectile dysfunction.

Finally, experts remind men in male menopause not to keep asking what to do but to take immediate action, starting from themselves, to prevent and manage male menopause. If they feel that their physical or psychological symptoms are severe, they should consult a doctor promptly and actively seek treatment methods.
