Periopause/Menopause Advice For Men

I thought it a good idea to post an advice thread for our gentlemen members.

It's not only women going through periopause/menopause as their partners, friends and families are hitched on that tow ball, like it or not and going for the ride too.

Some of us, like my mighty fine self (it's a good morning so far as Im still in bed), have amazing husbands who have done their own research and are whole heartedly committed to helping us on this damn freaking tumultuous roller coaster we've been forced to ride because we weren't born with balls.

Please do share your own experiences, frustrations and any advice you may have to help partners, friends, brothers, fathers etc to not be hurt, emotionally or physically, by a woman whose hormones suck really bad..

Anyway, to start the thread I thought this clip could help :)

It's interesting that medicating is generally people's (male and female) 1st comment. In a world full of toxins in foods, homes, the air (they are finding microplastics in humans) etc, that the go to is to medicate.

Yes that's what some choose but the fact we are all (men and women) talking about it, the symptoms and the turmoil on both sides, is a huge step to not having to medicate (in some instances). Understanding what both sides are going through, not feeling alone, understanding this is happening to millions right this second is the biggest and best dose of medication there is.

In no way am I saying that women should not look at all options, including medication, that are available.

It's not for everyone but HRT does help a lot of women, particularly if started earlier in the menopause years. The mistake some women make is doctor shopping for a prescription rather than asking for a referral to an endocrinologist to tailor the dose with at least annual monitoring. Many older men can also benefit from testosterone replacement therapy (though not to the same extent as women with HRT) because testosterone production drops off as we age. Again, this should be through a referral to an endocrinologist rather than through a guy at the gym.

All these changes/stages in a woman's life and yet society demands her to be angelic in every one of them.......

Imagine how many paid days away from work men would get if men faced all these changes women face and women do it and are supposedly to smile and look stun all along the way....

I learnt, a long time ago, to not care what others think. I'm different, a bit nuts at times but I'm never fake. Whichever version of me you get its 100 real me.
