One of the biggest controversies gripping medical world is the andro pause. Physicians are taking sides with one school of thought or another and debate at newspapers if this male version of the menopause exists, what symptoms should be taken into consideration during the diagnose process and what treatments are effective. There is no one idea at the moment and the search is still in progress for an explanation that fits all the facts.

"The determinants of "aging" and of "life expectancy" extend from genetic determinants to the increasingly powerful forces of economical, environmental, cultural and technological globalization." (Professor Bruno Lunenfeld, Bar-Ilan University, Israel)

Since the 1940s, the term andro pause has been used to define a condition that was thought to be similar to the female menopause. The blame for triggering this condition was laid on falling testosterone levels from around the age of 45 onwards. Andro pause was also thought to be the source of many problems faced by men, like weight problems, heart attacks, depression, anxiety and libido problems.

"Our survey shows that testosterone has a key role in the erectile function..." (Doctor Andrea Garolla, University of Padua, Italy)

However, this medical condition is highly debated, with physicians doubting it even exists. The main question is the simple fact that there are absolutely no clear physical symptoms that could be used to diagnose the andro pause. While the end of menstruation is the classic defenition for female menopause, men display no such universal symptom that could clue physicians to what's going on. That's why the medical world is still polarized between the two camps that argue back and forth over this issue.

Still, the controversy has not stopped men from looking for a way to stop or reverse the hormonal changes brought by andro pause and increase their sex drive again. Nathan Church, Ejaculation Enhancement Product Manager, says:

"In spite of the fact that I am not a medical doctor, I know that increasingly men have bought our pills as a result of a series of problems. These problems include loss of sex drive, erectile problems or even erectile dysfunction. I can only speak from my experience with our real customers that claim that their symptoms point to a condition described by certain physicians as Andro pause."

As we can see from this quote, men are not going to sit tight until medical community agrees that there is a problem. The herbal products market has a broad range of pills aimed at bringing back some the youthful feeling to aging men, helping them to increase ejaculation and improve sex life. While taking the problem into one's hands involves a certain amount of risk, many men are perfectly ready to take that risk, especially since the prize is the spark of life.
