Of the many conditions that men face as they age, heart failure is among those at the top of the list. Many things cause heart failure and heart failure causes many things. It’s like a toggle switch that’s always on.
One of the more unsettling links that stems from heart failure is the onset of Male Menopause, also called Andropause.
If you’re +45, you may indeed be suffering from Male Menopause, without realizing it- especially if you have treated or untreated high blood pressure.
[adrotate group=”5″]High blood pressure is a disease that causes a cascade of events to occur in all people, but one of the more frustrating for men is Andropause, or as it is commonly referred to, Male Menopause.
Menopause in women is natural. Women can’t avoid it because it is a natural and necessary change in the way the body works. In men, the ‘necessity’ is a little less black and white- in fact, there are some who would contend that an ever-dwindling reduction in testosterone is anything BUT natural and therefore completely unnecessary.
So what’s the relationship between Andropause and high blood pressure? Heart failure!
In a study presented at the Heart Failure Congress of 2013, researchers laid out the back-and-forth link between heart failure and Andropause. Andropause is the marked reduction in the testosterone levels in men.
Symptoms and side effects of Andropause include many of the same ones menopausal woman suffer, like hot flashes, osteoarthritis, high blood pressure, risk of diabetes, increased infections, and more.
…as well, Andropause is a key cause of Erectile Dysfunction.
But Andropause doesn’t happen to all men, which is different than menopause, since all menstruating women will eventually experience menopause either naturally or surgically.
Of all the men who experience heart failure, one third will have symptoms of Andropause. And an overwhelming majority of men suffering Andropause will experience some type of heart problems.
The researchers also noted that if symptoms of one are present that doctors should always consider that the other is likely present as well, leading to better care.
Understanding that throwing a blue pill at Erectile Dysfunction effectively leads to a missed heart failure diagnosis opportunity, doctors are urged to take the bigger picture into consideration.
