Manopause

On another topic, other than how menopause is slowly killing me, I'd like to talk about manopause.

Manopause is a perfectly normal and natural part of life for every man.

"Many men view manopause as a time when their youth is lost and no longer can they indulge in high jumps on the basketball court or deep knee bends while grooming the lawn, men should focus on the positive aspects instead," states Manlee Owed, MD. "For every man who complains about making extra trips to the bathroom at night, I'll show you three who have learned to be thankful they can still get there on time."

According to leading studies from 2010, the key to dealing with manopause is staying positive. The second the manopausal man begins to focus on things like protruding waistlines or failure to stay awake past 8:00 PM, the battle is lost. Manlee Owed, MD, notes, "This is a time for men to pamper themselves, allow for early bedtimes and even random naps in the middle of the day."

Yung Fun Boi, from the American Psychology Association, reminds men, "When a man is in the throws of manopause he may feel like he's losing his mind, but it's important to remember if he actually were, he probably wouldn't know it."

Most important, even though manopause is not an illness, men shouldn't hesitate to get treatment if they're having severe symptoms. Many treatments are available, from spacing men out on drugs to adjusting the diet to eating only broccoli and water.
