What Women Need To Understand About Andropause
Andropause is the counterpart of the female menopause in males, a condition that is brought about by the reduction in the production of the hormones testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone in elder men from age 35 onwards. Although this condition is not as bad as menopause, men can still feel its effects as their usual libido, vigor, vitality, and sharpness gradually declines.
What Women Can Do To Help Diminished “Machismo”
1. Always be there for him.
Let your male loved one know that you are always there for him. Men don’t often talk about their feelings and would not always admit that there are physical or emotional problems bothering them. Make sure to spend more quality time for them. They need it now more than ever.
2. Be generous with giving praise and kind words.
Boost his ego and pride from time to time to make him feel loved and useful. These are the times when they would feel inadequate or inefficient, so see to it that they are always reminded of their worth and value. Always be honest, upfront, but kind to them.
3. Offer them physical, mental, and emotional assistance.
4. Accompany them in their medical check-ups.
Most men won’t admit that they need to see the doctor, much more go ahead and actually visit one. Make sure you are around to remind them the importance of doing so and that you are there to accompany them. They will highly appreciate this.
Support: We Need Each Other To Survive
Women need to support men while going through andropause, just as much as men need to care for women when they are battling menopause. It will really do well if you know how to care for your loved ones during times like these. We need each other to survive. We need our loved ones to battle the effects and hassles that both andropause and menopause throw our way.
