Erectile dysfunction drugs are often used to treat men who get impotence problems as a result of a condition known as andropause or the male menopause. The symptoms are not just impotence but also lethargy, a low desire for sex, memory problems and even weight gain around the waist. Many men just assume that these problems are the signs of ageing but many health professionals and doctors will tell you that you are in reality suffering from andropause.
The basic causes of andropause are a lack of the male hormone testosterone and when the impulses between the male brain and their sexual apparatus start to slow. As many as 20% of men suffer from andropause and many just take it in their stride assuming that they are just getting older and it is harder to detect than the female menopause because it happens very gradually over quite a few years.
Anyway the good news is that in Singapore 2 doctors have set up an Andropause Clinics at the Changi General Hospital and the response has been good so far. The doctors say that many men are not sure where to turn when the start experiencing the andropause symptoms and this new clinic should help them. In the last month the one weekly clinic has been fully booked and many new patients are lining up for help.
The doctors said that the specialised clinic was needed as very often the symptoms of andropause are difficult to detect and they get confused with other symptoms of old age. The clinic interviews all its patients and gets to the bottom of the problem before dispensing medication and help. Andropause unlike many other health problems is not actually dangerous to the health of a man but is nevertheless a serious impediment to living a full and active life.
Very often men with andropause need a boost of testosterone which can be administered by way of injections, tablets or even implants. People who get this testosterone boost say that they see memory and libido improvements within a few months weeks and the hormone can even help with bone mass density too.
