Some men develop depression, loss of sex drive, erectile dysfunction, and other physical and emotional symptoms when they reach their late 40s to early 50s.
Other symptoms common in men this age are:
mood swings and irritability
loss of muscle mass and reduced ability to exercise
fat redistribution, such as developing a large belly or "man boobs" (gynaecomastia)
a general lack of enthusiasm or energy
difficulty sleeping (insomnia) or increased tiredness
poor concentration and short-term memory
These symptoms can interfere with everyday life and happiness, so it's important to find the underlying cause and work out what can be done to resolve it.
Add to that I get stupid hot flushes like women 
Personal or lifestyle issues
Lifestyle factors or psychological problems can also be responsible for many of these symptoms.
For example, erectile dysfunction, low sex drive and mood swings may be the result of:
stress
depression
anxiety
There are also physical causes of erectile dysfunction, such as smoking or heart problems, which may happen alongside any psychological cause.
Psychological problems are typically brought on by work or relationship issues, money problems or worrying about ageing parents.
A "midlife crisis" can also be responsible. This can happen when men think they have reached life's halfway stage.
Anxieties over what they have accomplished so far, either in their job or personal life, can lead to a period of depression.
Other possible causes of the "male menopause" include:
lack of sleep
a poor diet
lack of exercise
drinking too much alcohol
smoking
low self-esteem  |

Yes I would recommend getting bloods done every 3-6 months and keep an eye on those t levels but also cholesterol and prostrate.
With the odd shot and plenty of omega-3 you should be tickety-boo mentally & physically and spunky well into your 80s . That’s what my doc says anyway  |
