Because of this certain functions of the body stop happening bringing upon the men some side effects: sexual regression, low testosterone levels. As in women it usually starts after the age of 40.

The biological difference in men and women menopause is not that grate. Symptoms may appear to be similar in both cases because of the levels of male and female hormones that drop. Osteoporosis is the biggest threat in both cases of hormone loss. As estrogen was for women so is testosterone for men helping us greatly against certain problems like heart attack and osteoporosis.

The loss of physical activity and energy is maybe the first sign that a person is aging. A more particular fact in men is also the loss of sexual drive, quite a frustrating problem some times.

The same is in women but their desires don't drop until the levels of estrogen have decreased a lot from normal. The case is more acute if the ovaries are completely removed. Maybe the worse effect, the lack of testosterone in men can have, is the loss of interest. And by this loss of interest is done at higher levels: loss of sexual appetite, of business and even sports.
