What are the basics both sexes should know about each others hormonal changes?
The most basic, and most important, is to realize that you both are experiencing physical as well as emotional changes throughout this time frame. Each person has his or her unique experience. Whether they express it or not, the transition (double menopause) is occurring. For the andropausal man, the mind/libido connection is extremely important. For the menoapausal woman it tends to be more comprehensive; women are concerned about their physical selves changing and the mood changes that come along with hot flashes and sleep disturbances. Having a loving, supportive partner through these times is key.
