Book Description

4 Aug 1997 0722535325 978-0722535325 New edition

The medical establishment has long refused to accept that the ‘male menopause’ or ‘andropause’ exists. This blank denial flies in the face of over 50 years of evidence that reduced activity of the hormone testosterone can have a huge effect on a man’s health and potency.

Around the age of 50, but sometimes much earlier or later, action man may turn into inaction man. From being a positive, bullish and outgoing person, he changes to a negative, depressed bear with a sore head; a disaster in both bedroom and boardroom.

What is the male menopause and does it really exist?

Low testosterone activity is common in men over the age of 40

It causes loss of energy, libido and potency, hot flushes, irritability and other systems

It is often confused with the mid-life crisis

Carefully monitored use of Testosterone Replacement Therapy may be an important part of the preventative medicine of the future. Patches are available and the waiting list for Carruther’s Harley Street Clinic is forever on the increase.

Product Description

From the Back Cover

DO MEN NEED HRT?

The medical establishment has long refused to accept that the 'male menopause' or ‘andropause’ exists. But over 50 years of scientific evidence shows that reduced activity of the hormone testosterone can have a huge effect on a man's health and potency.

Around the age of 50, but sometimes much earlier or later, action man may turn into inaction man. From being a positive, bullish and outgoing person, he can change into a negative, depressed bear with a sore head; a disaster in both bedroom and boardroom.

Based on his experience with over 1,000 men showing the symptoms of loss of energy, drive and potency characteristic of the andropause, Dr Malcolm Carruthers has fought long and hard to have the condition recognised as a true hormone deficiency state, and to establish that it can be safely and effectively treated with testosterone HRT for men.

Here at last is a revealing and in-depth study of many men facing one of the greatest male taboos.

Dr Malcolm Carruthers has been carrying out research for the past 20 years on the key role of testosterone in keeping men healthy, happy and sexually active. He is a Consultant Andrologist, a specialist in men's health, in his clinic in London's Harley Street. He is the author of 'The Western Way of Death: Stress, Tension and Heart Disease' and 'Real Health: The Ill-Effects of Stress and Their Prevention'.

Recomend this book to all males especially those heading towards 40yrs. It very well written and the author has a good sense of humour. The medical profession should be forcing all medical students to read this as part of their medical training!!!

I read this book with great interest and some excitement, as it seemed to pinpoint exactly where I was at. Then I went for some hormone measurements, did lots of web searching and had some helpful conversations with my doctor. I will just say that though the treatments the author recommends _may_ be right for you, the medical evidence is simply not as clear-cut as he makes out, and it is quite possible to have all the symptoms he describes along with hormone levels that don't fit his theories at all. The medical establishment is sceptical of his views for good evidence-based reasons, not (just) pig-headedness.

5.0 out of 5 stars A "Classic" book on the "Male Menopause" 31 Oct 1998
By glfndoc@aol.com - Published on Amazon.com
Dr. Carruthers has described the "male Menopause" in terms that all can understand and in a humorous and entertaining style..The history of testosterone is fascinating, but the benefits of hormone replacement for correction of the symptoms of the deficiency is even more exciting. This book together with the recent book,"Testosterone Syndrome", are the best overall works on the subject of the "Male Menopause" yet written. They provide a comprehensive overview of the critical health benefits of testosterone treatmrnts.

1.0 out of 5 stars Maximising Manhood 18 July 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This is a very introductory discussion of Andropause. If this topic is new to the reader, it provides overview information. However, it does not go into depth and does not provide new information about dealing with the symptoms of andropause. Consequently, I didn't find the book very helpful.
5.0 out of 5 stars Testosterone is for real 7 Sep 2012

This book is fabulous. Testosterone is indeed the closest thing to dropping a few decades. I am 70, just returned from a cruise with my wife, and I could not believe what I was seeing. Daily performance for twelve straight days, sometimes more than once.
