Do You Suffer from Hypothyroidism?
Do You Know What Hypothyroidism is?
Where is the Thyroid and What Does it Do?

The thyroid is a small bowtie or butterfly-shaped ‘endocrine’gland, located in the neck--below the adam’s apple area; it produces the thyroid hormone and regulates the body’s metabolism. Although   small in size, the thyroid does a big job. Its secretions essentially control the rate at which the body conducts its business. Like the master conductor in an orchestra, pacing the timing and measure of its play--the thyroid regulates many of the body’s functions, including temperature, heart rate, muscle contractions, and protein and carbohydrate metabolism.

Is there Male Menopause?

YES, men do go through it.

The correct term is ‘Andropause’. The symptoms are much more gradual than the female menopause, and only rarely do men get the ‘hot flushes.’ But they do find decreased interest in sex, more irritability, and an increase in nightly and morning fatigue... just like their menopausal partners. All men in the past, would rely on denial. Each would rationalize that the stress at work, family problems and/or the financial pressures at mid-life are the problem. But even with vacation and his attentive partner, his erections are less often, less firm, and ejaculation less often. But being a man, he will rarely discuss this with his friends or go to a physician. “It must be normal... and ... there is nothing that can be done,” are the keystones to his inactivity.
