Male menopause (Andropause?)
 

Does it exist?
My onslaught of sudden sweats has doctors puzzled so far. So similar to the wife's hot flushes it is uncanny.............

A lot of folks say it does exist.

Wouldn't be anything to do with the current weather would it? say it is, and that's your worries over.

I get the sweats a lot.

EDIT: Sweating is mentioned (History)

Next stage for you, you will have Panic attacks, can`t breath and convinced you are going to die, :eek: don`t worry you won`t ;)
but that won`t stop them or you thinking that way, and if you are lucky they will subside after about five years. :D

Get the ATC sensors sorted! ;)

Sweats
 

I am on the female hormone as treatment for cancer which means I am going through the Menopause and it is no bl....dy joke!

Uch yooz can't see green cheese.........:D;)

I reckon it does as I have mentioned this to my Doctor, he kind of smirked a bit but did agree that men can experience similar issues.

Apparently it's an age thing. :laughing2:

The very best to you Dave for a speedy recovery :)

Last year when I had trouble with the blood going round, necrosis and gangrene, I used to break out in hot sweats, they didn't last long but were unpleasant. I was tested for testosterone - a bit low. My hot sweats I think were triggered off by the stress of the condition I had last year and since getting better, those hot flushes never came back. You have been seriously ill Dave, been through hell and back, so give it time. Ask your GP for testosterone and full blood count etc in follow up re: query the change and post-op monitoring....

Sincerest wishes

Phil,
Thank you for an educated and serious response to what is a real health problem for me. It is as I am sure you can imagine hindering my recovery.
Your post coupled with a few pm's from people who also recognise this has undoubtedly helped.

Kindest regards

Hi Dave

I am sorry to hear about your health problems. I was unaware that you had been unwell.

I assume that this was just prior to my 'Viz' repair.

If I had known I would have left that little niggle, so that you could concentrate on your recovery.

If the professionals have done such a good job on you, as you do for me and the club as a whole, I'm sure you will be up and running 'Sweet As A Nut' in next to no time.

Helen and I both wish you well and a speedy recovery.

Take care

Apologies Dave, I had not known you had been seriously ill otherwise I would not have been so flippant.
All the best.
Ken.

Me too Dave :o obviously I know you've been unwell, which I did not intend to make light of :lover: Sorry xx
