Hormonal changes in men in their 40+

Last updated: 29 Nov 2025

40+ is a time when everything in a man's life is quite stable, both career, status and family, but also comes with many burdens and responsibilities. When entering this age, some people will start to notice various changes in themselves. Family members or men themselves will start to notice the changes, as follows:

Easily tired, decreased energy
Easily irritated, mood swing, easily discouraged
Want to be alone, depressed
Hot flashes, night sweats
Arm and leg muscles are smaller, soft and sagging
Starting to have a potbelly, weight gain, or the same weight but the same clothes are tight and can't be worn
Getting shorter, thinner bones or osteoporosis
Lack of enthusiasm, lack of motivation to work
Decreased sexual performance or desire

️What causes these symptoms?
The answer is a decrease in the male hormone testosterone.

‍️Testosterone

plays a very important role in the youth of all men. It works on the relationship between bones, muscles and brain. It will be the most in the early twenties. After that, it will gradually decrease slowly. And will start to feel in the forties. In addition, there are many factors that cause menopause symptoms in men to occur earlier than normal. Such as stress from hard work, insufficient rest, urban lifestyles and side effects from taking certain medications.

️Easy self-care techniques for men over 40 are:

Reduce foods high in sugar and fat
Exercise 3-4 times a week
Be optimistic
Eat more nutritious foods such as protein and green vegetables

‍️ However, if you do not have time or take care of yourself more and do not see results, we recommend that you consult a doctor. An experienced doctor will check your hormones and plan a treatment plan. Along with providing advice on how to restore each person's physical fitness appropriately and safely
