MALE PREMENSTRUAL SYNDROME: DOES IT EXIST? - LIFESTYLE

Male premenstrual syndrome: does it exist then?

Tiredness, irritability, hypersensitivity, mood swings, hunger with addiction to chocolate, lethargy: our menstrual cycle is about to begin, so are we victims of the famous syndrome that precedes it? Well no, it's the male premenstrual syndrome: yes, you understood correctly, it affects them too, only that it is clearly not connected to the advent of menstruation, but to other hormonal factors. Don't worry, despite this strange similarity, men do not need this , but we do:

What do we mean by male PMS?

The correct term would be Irritable Male Syndrome, that is Irritable Man Syndrome, which is the result of numerous studies conducted and still ongoing in recent years. The definition was born from the research biologist Gerald Lincoln, finding himself describing the behavior of mammals during a research on other issues. Nervousness, irritability and depression were the surprising moods that occur in male mammals following the lowering of testosterone levels. In short, our "no week", however, in the body of a mammal. Subsequent studies have confirmed the presence of a hormonal cyclical phase in men, which would affect mood and energy.

What happens in the human body?

According to the president of the department of urology at New York-Presbyterian and Weill Cornell Medicine, men have hormonal changes that are very similar to those of women. But what was the cause of this symptomatology? It would appear that testosterone levels in boys can vary many times in a single day. It would not be clear if these hormonal changes, which are quite traceable during the day (for example testosterone levels are high in the morning and lower at night), can also occur monthly and weekly, like that of women. One thing is certain: man is also subject to a sort of PMS, so his mood swings must also be understood!
