The male menopause is the name given to an age-related change in the hormone levels of men. There are several factors which could cause a person to enter this stage of their life.

Some of the most common include:

• Testosterone deficiency
• Increasing SHBG levels
• Reduced pituitary function
• Reduced production of testosterone by the testicles
• Increasing insulin resistance/onset of diabetes

In all of these cases, it’s the dramatic reduction in the amount of testosterone the body produces which causes the menopause to kick in. While these factors won’t affect everyone as they age, it can have a huge impact on individuals who do see a dip in production.
