Damn right there is such a thing - it's ANDROPAUSE

IT can start as early as the thirties -

It is very severe - except that it's very gradual - DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT's not SEVERE. i"m sick & tired of women trying to minimize mens' andropause - they want the world to cry for womens' problems but expect men to endure without complaint.

symptoms include:

Loss of virility & libido, weak or no erection, scanty semen output, weak orgasm, \

Fatty tissue increase, weakening of the heart function, shrinkage of lung capacity, stiffness & soreness of muscles, joint, tendons, ligaments, Also high blood pressure, higher blood sugar & heart disease & hardening of the arteries.

generalized tired, rundown feeling - weakness of muscular capacity - poor sleep - sadness & despondent mental outlook, lack of ambition & focus. memory weakening, mind get dull & slow

No effective treatments exist. Exogenous hormones often fail since men over 30 produce lage amounts of SHBG - (sex hormone binding globulin) this inactivates testosterone both your own & that given from outside sources.

with age, the cellular receptors which used to respond to free testosterone begin to not respond well at all - they become INSENSITIVE TO testosterone - even when blood levels are adequate.

Mens' andropause is just like womens' menopause - it is controlled by a biological clock programmed into the man's body & this comes from God's plan. Virility does not last forever - puberty starts it & ANDROPAUSE ENDS IT. This is part of aging & is God's plan - It cannot be overcome.

Mens' andropause is every bit as severe as womens' menopause. but women like to maximalize their discomfort & they are more vocal & complain more than men do.

And that's that.

Males, like females, start to go through hormonal changes with age. Men, unlike women, don't experience the drastic change that comes with menopause however. Men's testosterone level begins to go down with age and the signs may be loss of muscle mass, weight gain, hair loss, etc.

There is male menupause due to gradual decrease in the androgenic hormones mainly testosterone . symptoms are not sever as in female . It could be primary as in old age , or secondary due to hormonal ablation for some medical reasons as in case of cancer prostate where orchedectomy [removal of testes] is chosen as one line of treatment .The Maine symptomes are decease of muscle mass and fat deposition in the body .there is hot flushes in some cases. Hormonal treatment could recommended except in cases of cancer prostate , because the tumour is hormone dependant.

There is ongoing debate over whether male menopause actually exists.Some experts believe a reduction in the hormone testosterone as men grow older is responsible for male menopause.Testosterone levels fall at a rate of 1 percent per year after mid-life.
Symptoms of testosterone deficiency include depression, irritability, sexual dysfunction, fatigue and problems with mental functioning.
Testosterone replacement therapy is the main treatment for male menopause that is definitely linked to low testosterone levels
Male menopause is a term to describe a drop in male hormone levels after middle age leading to depression, anxiety and low libido.
The term has also been used to describe a mid-life crisis that happens to some men during their late thirties and early forties. However, this is outside the scope of this article which deals with physical symptoms caused by low testosterone levels.
There is controversy about whether male menopause actually exists because it is not associated with a sharp drop in hormones and the cessation of a bodily function like in the case of female menopause when women's periods stop.
However, testosterone is produced at smaller amounts by the testicles and in pituitary gonadotrophin secretion in middle aged and elderly men which is believed to lead to the symptoms of male menopause.
Testosterone production and plasma levels fall in most men as they age, and there appears to be a threshold at which lower levels may result in sexual dysfunction. However, there appears to be a wide variation among men at what level they may experience problems with falling testosterone levels.
Studies show that plasma concentration testosterone levels begin falling in early middle age, and bioavailable testosterone is nearly halved between the ages of 25 and 75. Total testosterone levels fall about 1 percent per year from mid-life but it is not clear whether this is medically significant.
Experts who dismiss the male menopause theory argue that because men's testosterone levels fall gradually, their bodies should naturally adapt to lower levels over time.

Yes there is.
It can start at any age, the symptoms are no where near as severe as female and unless it is difficult no treatment is needed.
