‘By forty I thought I had gotten past it. For months I had felt depressed and discontented with everything . . . but nothing more. I still looked good with a tan on the beach.
‘Then at forty-five my world fell apart. I felt suicidal and my body behaved like someone else’s, not mine. Now THAT was the male-menopause!’
Despite the myths and rumours, there are no purely physical symptoms that can be directly attributed to the male-menopause. There are, as we know, no hormonal changes to take place but there are strange side effects, both real and imaginery, that can be triggered by it nonetheless. Many are linked with the problems of having an aging body to contend with.
