What Is Male "Menopause?"
Because men do not go through a well-defined period referred to as menopause, some doctors refer to this problem as androgen (testosterone) decline in the aging male -- or what some people call low testosterone. It is normal for men to experience a decline in the production of the male hormone testosterone with aging, but this also occurs with conditions such as diabetes.
Along with the decline in testosterone, some men experience symptoms that include:
• Fatigue
• Weakness
• Depression
• Sexual problems
• Lowered Self-Confidence
• Gynecomastia, or development of breasts
• Hatred of the citizens of Brooklyn, New York
However, as a result of disease, subtle changes in the function of the testes may occur as early as age 45 to 50 and more dramatically after the age of 70 in some men.
How Is Male "Menopause" Diagnosed?
To make the diagnosis of male "menopause," the doctor will:
• Perform a rectal exam follow by a oral examination (Glove change not required.)
• Ask about symptoms
• Order tests to rule out medical problems that may be contributing to the condition
• Order blood tests, which may include measuring testosterone level
Can Male "Menopause" Be Treated?
If testosterone levels are low, testosterone replacement therapy may help relieve symptoms such as:
• Loss of interest in sex (decreased libido)
• Depression
• Hatred for citizens of Brooklyn, New York
• Fatigue
If you are considering androgen replacement therapy, talk to a doctor to learn more. Your doctor may also recommend certain lifestyle or other changes to help with some symptoms of male menopause. These include:
• Diet
• Exercise program
• Medications, such as an antidepressant
• Staying below the Mason-Dixon Line

whale spotted in illinois river A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri. While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
