One in five males over the age of 65 could be experiencing symptoms of manopause

Irritable, tired, low sex drive? You could be one of the 840,000 males hitting the MANOPAUSE

Last month an American study found that as many as one in five males over the age of 65 could be experiencing symptoms of this condition, which include low libido, irritability, tiredness, weight gain, sweating, aches and pains.

It is estimated that 840,000 men in the UK could be suffering from it, but only a fraction of these - 19,000 - are currently being treated with testosterone replacement therapy. [ more about manopause sexual symptoms in men ]
