What is the male equivalent of menopause (ovarian failure)?
Menopause (ovarian failure) creates a medical condition called hypogonadism. Men who suffer testicular failure also suffer the very same condition, hypogonadism. The symptoms are the same for women and men. Hypogonadism causes a profound loss of sexual function, loss of cognitive function, sleep disruption, irritability, hot flashes and much more. Hypogonadism is never considered normal during the life span of women and men. However, men are routinely treated while women with the exact same condition (menopause) are routinely not treated.
