Male Menopause-Do Men have Night Sweats?

First let’s define what male menopause is. It is something that men have been experiencing for years but it was something that was rarely expressed. It has always been established as something that only women went through. However, that is not true. It involves a hormonal, mental and chemical change during the ages of 40 and 55.

 

More recently, men have been speaking out about the symptoms that come with menopause to raise the awareness to men and women.

Male menopause comes with some of the same symptoms that women experience such as night sweats. Because of that the answer is yes. But to explain the night sweats in men are considered to be severe hot flashes that will take place in the night. They will do the same form of interruption of sleep just as it does with women.

They are caused by the malfunctioning hypothalamus (your temperature system in the brain).There are other causes for men having night sweats with male menopause.

·         Low Testosterone Level

·         High Cortisol (Stress)

·         Unhealthy Diet

·         Poor Fitness

To gain the control with your male menopause night sweats, there are solutions that can help. First it is important that you speak with your medical provider and make him/her aware of all the symptoms that you are having. Then it can be suggested that you put your lifestyle in check by correcting your diet, get a proper exercise program, and avoid stressful situations.

Making these changes will help you to be able to balance your hormone levels. This is only a start.

When there is a decline in a woman’s body of estrogen while in menopause she goes through a lot of changes. The loss of estrogen can result in a number of symptoms.

Here is one. Back pain is a common complaint during menopause. It can be a sign of muscle weakness. Your muscles, tendons and bones estrogen receptors in  those areas can become weak. This is what will give you daily pain and cause you to be uncomfortable.

If you are not aware of some of the muscle pain related to menopause, you may want to think it was the way that you slept, or something that you picked up,  or something that you moved.

Post Menopause and Antibiotics-Do they mix?

This post is about being in the end stages of menopause. You may be given the wrong medication while dealing with another health issue.

The experience of having a bad reaction to the medication that was prescribed to me upon having an emergency tooth extraction (1) Motrin 500 mg (2) Penicillin 500 mg. Instructions was to take them every six hours. After four days of being on this medication the pain from the tooth extraction had lessen. Meanwhile, keep in mind that I am in my post menopause stages. (It is coming to an end) 

I took notice that my stomach was hurting and paining real bad. I could not walk upright and I was curled up in the bed in a fetal position rocking. I was trying to calm the pain down. My mouth was dry, I was nauseated, weak, no strength, my vision was blurred, there was tightness in my chest, cramps and I had not had a bowel movement in days. Then I realized that I was losing weight. I mean I was sick! 

To make a long story short I went back to a local hospital emergency room and the doctor told me that I suffered severe side effects from the antibiotics which were intestinal problems, dehydration, nausea, dizziness, and I might add vaginal infection. I was just messed up from the waist down! The doctor did not put me on any medication but he did put me on a strict diet. I only could eat white boiled rice, applesauce, apple juice, toast, drink plenty of water. This experience was very scary for me and exhausting! 

 

There is much more to this post menopause experience then what I just gave. However, my best advice that I would give is that you inform your dentist that you are in menopausal stages and be very detailed with him. Also you will want to keep a note of what types of medications you can take and the one you can’t. 

 My finale words:

Menopause brings so many different and odd problems that women can experience.
