Understanding Menopause and Andropause

Understanding Menopause and Andropause

Menopause and andropause are significant life transitions that affect hormonal balance and overall health. Understanding these changes is crucial for maintaining quality of life. Menopause is the phase in a woman’s life when menstruation ceases, typically occurring between ages 45 and 55. It involves a decline in estrogen production. Andropause is often referred to as male menopause; this phase involves a gradual decrease in testosterone levels in men, usually starting around age 40. Addressing symptoms associated with these transitions is essential for maintaining well-being and improving quality of life.
