ПМС у мужчин: неожиданный факт от ученых

Did you quarrel with your loved one over a trifle? The director is not in spirited and broke down the whole department? Do not rush to blame yourself and get upset, perhaps it is not at all in external factors. Sometimes men are rude, irritable or scattered under the influence of hormones. Doesn't  remind you of anything? Yes, meet, PMS in men — a proven and  studied fact. What to do with this misfortune and how to help a man cope with such an unpleasant condition, we will figure it out in this article.

PMS in men: causes and main symptoms

What makes a man a man? No, not the  hipster beard and not Grand Cherokee at the house. First of all, the testosterone hormone is responsible for male characteristics, it also affects the formation of musculoskeletal mass, and some character traits, and even mood. Normally, the content of testosterone in the blood of men is 11-33 nmol / l. But & nbsp; if testosterone becomes critically low, such manifestations as:

  • drowsiness;

  • irritability;

  • emotional instability;

  • forgetfulness;

  • decrease in concentration.

Actually, because of the similar symptoms and hormonal nature, this condition was called "PMS in" men. Although some experts prefer a different term — CRM (Irritable Man Syndrome). This condition does not have a cyclical nature, unlike female PMS. It is also impossible to say how long this condition will last: until the factors that reduce the amount of testosterone disappear, improvements can not be expected.

Why does my testosterone level drop? In general, a gradual decrease in hormone production after reaching a certain age (30-35 years) is normal. This happens very slowly, but inevitably, therefore, almost everyone's character deteriorates with age. Also, the production of testosterone is affected by lifestyle, eating habits, and taking anabolic steroids. The level of testosterone drops under the influence of alcohol, as well as after sweets (glucose blocks the production of this hormone).

A single factor is unlikely to have a significant impact on hormonal levels, but a combination of circumstances (difficulties at work, unpaid loans, weight gain) can lead to the appearance of signs of PMS in men. A good rest and  reboot will give excellent results, but if you start the situation, most likely you won't be able to do without the help of an andrologist.

How can you correct the hormonal background in men

 testosterone production can be influenced both indirectly by changing lifestyle, and medication by taking a course of hormone therapy. Before you run to the doctor, you need to try to get out of the "testosterone crisis" on your own. So, what should be done to increase testosterone levels.

1. Eliminate stress. When we get into a stressful situation, the body produces adrenaline and cortisol. When paired, these hormones trigger various processes that help you focus and save yourself. The constant production of cortisol "turns off" the production of sex hormones, (they say, I'm sorry, but not before reproduction). You need to learn to abstract or solve psychological problems with the help of a specialist.

2. Lose weight. Adipose tissue and accumulates hormones, and produces them, mainly estrogen. This is a female hormone, which in turn triggers the formation of adipose tissue in the abdomen and hips. In addition to estrogen, there is aromatase in    — an enzyme that converts testosterone to estrogen. It turns out a vicious circle and you can break it only in the gym.

3. Get enough sleep. Chronic lack of sleep can reduce testosterone levels by  40%. And a low testosterone level causes, oddly enough, insomnia. Be sure to force yourself to sleep for  8 hours a day, preferably in complete darkness (this is a condition for normal production of melatonin — hormone that regulates sleep cycles and reduces cortisol production).

4. Drink a course of vitamins. It has been proven that the production of testosterone is carried out with the help of vitamin D, magnesium and zinc. With a meager and monotonous diet, it is difficult to maintain the required level of these substances, and so it is worth consulting with doctor and selecting suitable drugs.
