The Andropause Mystery: Unraveling Truths About the Male Menopause

Rating:
Summary: Mysteries of man.
Review: After reading, Andropause Mystery, I have found that Dr. Robert Tan, M.D. seems to know quit a bit about the male menopause. With looking over the web site and learning as much as I can, I feel that this book is written for people to understand completly about men and how they do go through a male menopause as women go through women menopause. In my believing that men most certainly do go through menopause on or before the ages of 40-50 years of age, I have found that it is interesting to know that most men don't even know they do have hormonial embalances. I've noticed there are just as many men needing to read on male menopause as their are women. In reading this book it explains questions that are never asked and gives the knowledge of how the mysteries of men do happen and why. It is about time that this book has been written.

Summary: Who would have thought that men can have menopause!
Review: As a licensed nursing facility administrator for the past 10 years, I've had the opportunity to closely observe physiological, psychosocial, and biochemical changes that my elderly male residents exhibited. After reading Dr. Robert Tan's book, I now have a better understanding that the possible root of their depression, memoryloss, and bone loss was hormonal. Like many other geriatric professionals and the public at large, I only believed that this hormonal imbalance could only occur in women. Had I known what I know now from Dr. Tan's research, I could have easily taken steps to promote appropriate treatment plans for my male residents who were probable candidates. Now that Dr. Tan has shed light on this subject, I have faith that family members and other geriatric professionals alike, will also learn the truth about andropause and can offer help to their residents and patients.

Summary: The Andropause Mystery, 18 January 2001
Review: At least women are more fortunate than men to be able to know and understand about their menopause through the distinct point. I am sure it causes great confusion to many men when they grow older due to physical and physiological changes, due to lack of understanding about male menopauseand distinct point. This book has unraveled the truth, which will be able to help men and women to understand better about male menopause. I recommend that this book not only for men, also equally for women. It helps the men to understand better about themselves and be able to prepare for the aging process, and the women to understand their male partner better. Thanks for the good work, Dr Tan.

Summary: The Andropause Mystery
Review: Dr Robert Tan certainly enlightens the common man on a subject that most of us do not even know existed. The manisfestations and desciptions of Andropause is real but has not been articulated in the way which Dr Tan has been able to do before. The facts on this subject will be of great interest to anyone in his middle age as it goes beyond the clinical desciptions into hopeful areas of treatment and life enhancement. I certainly recommend anyone wishing to know where aging leads to read this highly informative and well written book.

Summary: Excellent book on 'Male Menopause'
Review: Dr. Tan has brought a very important, but underappreciated topic to the common man. In simple language, he explains the various features of Andropause and also adds various real life scenarios. For the serious reader, solid research data is included. Every adult male (and female concerned about her 'significant other'), needs to read this book. I also recommend this book to physicians because this topic gets scant attention in the medical school curricula....
