The Subjective Point of View -
Hormones and Psychological Effects
In addition to the medical facts, andropause is often subjectively experienced by men as a painful loss. As loss of masculinity.
Sex life more and more differs from that of younger men. Not only procreative ability and sperm production decline, libido and sexual potency also gradually decrease. For example, morning erections occur less and less frequently.
What many men do not realize, or often intentionally suppress, is the fact that mentally they are no longer a young man. Learning new things becomes more and more difficult, and memory gets worse. In addition to general reduced vitality and loss of energy, level of activity reduces and exhaustion sets in more rapidly. Along with insomnia on the one hand, and tiredness on the other. This leads to restlessness, fear, nervousness and depressive disturbances.
