Is your man 'Manopausal?'

Menopause is a fact of life for women. But is it a reality for men too? Most likely, according to eDiets. Male menopause is a little-known effect of aging, and while for years it was thought of as a myth just a part of growing older, Doctors are now insisting that it's a hormonal condition, just like female menopause. But of course, the hormones are different -- women lose estrogen, while men lose testosterone.

So what does Manopause entail? It's a more gradual process than menopause, and it's characterized by the following symptoms:

• Decreases sex drive and/or erectile dysfunction
  
• Irritability or depression
  
• A lack of energy
  
• Increased body fat
• Decreased muscle mass or bone density

But keep in mind that these symptoms don't definitely mean Manopause. Talk to your doctor or find out more from this article from eDiets.
