Men have a hard time coping with changes in adulthood

Psychosomatic balance (well-being) is a very short period in our life, where the body responds to all the brain’s demands, and the brain enjoys all the body’s possibilities. Little is said about andropause in men, and the difficulties in adapting to new physiological and endocrinological changes, the lack of support from partners and the community lead to men having a hard time coping with these changes and late contacting specialists for help, the panel concluded.Having coffee with a psychologist” which was held on the topic “Andropause (men’s climax) – a challenge for physical and mental health”.

Speaking of changes in adulthood, psychologist Jelena Vranješević pointed out that “men are in a worse position than women, because they lose something in which they were heavily invested – the decline of muscles, strength, energy and sexual power” and added that in men, when they enter andropause, “the fear of death does not appear , it’s already the first midlife crisis that many people don’t come to terms with”.

Urologist and sexologist Aleksandar Milošević estimated that men enter andropause at the age of 40, and that the cause of changes is at the age of fifty, because the cycle of advancement ends, while statistics show that men are most productive after the age of fifty to sixty.

“Men come as soon as the problem of declining sexual power appears, while a small number of women, about 10 percent, present with this problem, because they can tolerate it more easily. A woman is gentler and more realistic, she matures much faster precisely because of her 10 times less testosterone, and a man often overestimates himself, especially in his youth. A typically unhappy man is one who constantly sets himself some big goals,” said Milošević and added that “diabetes, obesity and pressure are the main diseases that weaken testosterone.”

Founder and owner of Communis agency Ivan Stanković he said that many men do not recognize andropause, because they think they are “tigers”, which can be dangerous because they do not recognize the problem, if it exists, and do not seek help in time. He stated that “he has the impression that a man is dead when he has no dreams and that the essence is to dream something, to strive for something, to have an aspiration that keeps a person from achieving it.

“At this age, I still have some plans. Some may not be rational, may be infantile, but those dreams keep me going. It is also important to have discipline. “Mine consists of swimming every morning for 17 years, it’s become a habit, it’s part of my mental hygiene and daily routine that help me cope with everyday life,” concluded Stanković.
