It is a phase in men’s life when his levels of the hormones testosterone and DHEA decrease. It happens to older man. Men don't know when they're going through viropause. Men start losing their sex drives at about the age of 30. The diminished sex drive is very gradual in men. It doesn't fully end until they reach 60 or 70 years old.
This experience is quite to that of women i.e. menopause. Just as women go through a phase in their lives called menopause, men experience a similar sexual experience called viropause. And it happens much earlier in life than the time women experience menopause. Women generally experience it between 45-55 years.
How to help to get out of the diminishing sex-drives?
Testosterone supplements can help tremendously in renewing diminished sex drives in men. The treatment is known as testosterone replacement therapy. It requires a prescription and increases the level of testosterone in a man's body.
When deciding whether you should get testosterone replacement therapy, you need to consider your needs. If you are having a difficult time achieving an erection or if you feel as though your testosterone levels have diminished, it's certainly an option for you.
Testosterone replacement therapy is highly successful in most cases. However, there are side effects. If you have any prostate cancer, you should not use it. TRT will not cause prostate cancer, but if you have a pre-existing condition, it can cause it to expand. So, it's best for you to get tested for prostate cancer before you are prescribed TRT. Also, TRT is known to raise blood pressure. So, if you occasionally do experience high blood pressure, you should certainly think carefully before you agree to take this medicine.
