What is Andropause?

Andropause/Male Menopause is real. We lose critical hormones at the rate of 2%-3% per year beginning at age 30. Most men in their late 30's or early 40's understand that life is not as it should be or could be. An individualized program based on the results of a comprehensive evaluation can have tremendous beneficial effects for the short-term, and create a better opportunity to live well longer. A poorly designed program can have significant negative effects, both in the short-term and long-term.

Your Andropause Evaluation establishes your hormonal and metabolic baseline and provides your Physician at Eterna M.D. with the medical information necessary to design a program to increase your energy level including sexual energy, reduce body fat, increase lean muscle, improve cognitive function, lower cholesterol, enhance mood, improve ability to handle stress, and strengthen the immune system so as to remain as disease free as possible.

What are the symptoms of Andropause?

Upon reaching his 40's or 50's, the average man will start to notice subtle changes in his body, attitude and vitality. One day you wake up and think that the dry cleaners have shrunk your shirts and pants - or did they? They must have, your weight, eating habits and exercise routine have not changed since you were in college. For you, these changes may begin with something as simple as irritating an old football injury, or sleeping wrong and waking up with back, hip, neck or joint pain. You will make excuses for it but in the back of your mind you are thinking all I did was go to sleep and I woke up with debilitating pain, what is wrong with me? You may be starting to experience Andropause, a natural decline in your male hormones (testosterone and DHEA). As a man enters andropause, he may start to slow down and mature - some may say you have finally grown up. You may experience a reduced sex drive or feel that you have lost your edge. You may notice a decrease in muscle mass, skin tightness and strength, all which may be replaced by a wider girth, enlarged breasts and an overall blasé feeling (your get up and go has got up and went and you don't even care).
