Menopause refers to a specific period from middle age to old age, which is based on the changes of hormone levels, biochemical environment and psychological state in the body. Generally speaking, most men's menopause begins after 4 ~ 55 years old, but some of them start as early as 35 years old or later than 65 years old or even 7 years old. But not all men will have clinical symptoms after entering menopause. According to statistics, 3% ~ 4% of middle-aged and elderly men may have menopausal symptoms and signs to varying degrees.
