Menopausal Men
Q. Do men really go into menopause too? What are the signs and symptoms of male menopause? What is the treatment for this condition? — Mencio B., San Fernando City
A. As people grow older, there are significant changes in the amount and pattern of production of their sex hormones. The sex hormones—estrogen and progesterone, in women and testosterone, in men—are produced by the ovaries in the female and the testes in the male. They regulate the reproductive process and exert profound effects on many bodily functions. They are also responsible for the striking physical differences between men and women.
