Is Irritable Male Syndrome Affecting Your Relationship? The Truth About Andropause & Grumpy Old Men!

The term “Grumpy Old Men” may well be attributed to men going through andropause (the male version of menopause) – a condition often coined Irritable Male Syndrome (IMS). Like menopause, andropause – or IMS – is fueled by a decline in testosterone that can significantly affect your life after 50, and throw your relationship into a tailspin, not only with your significant other, but everyone around you! Is Irritable Male Syndrome hurting your relationships? Dr. Laurie explains the cause, diagnosis, and optimal treatment options.

😒 I'd bet the last cent in my bank account that the person I'm living with has a very severe case of Grumpy Old Man Syndrome and has had it for years now... smdh

My husband just started his testing. He has all the symptoms. And I went into full surgical menopause Nov. 2018 and my primary told me that she would put me on antidepressants if i get up to 2mg of estrodial and I still don't feel better. I asked her twice to check my levels and she said she doesn't feel comfortable. I'm thinking who is the one that's uncomfortable here?? Ugh! I cannot wait to see my BHRT specialist next week.

DUDES! Get your testosterone tested! When you balance your testosterone you will sleep like a baby. Also see a doctor who believes in hormone replacement. My first primary care doctor didn't believe in testosterone replacement. My late wife was a nurse and found me a doctors' clinic that helped me out.

I am DEEP in IMS, my wife left me and I'm alone with kidney failure, foot problems and failing sight. I was disabled in a work accident and had to retire. I've never understood until now why people commit suicide.... What do I do?

It’s so sad you two women think the grumpy man syndrome is something to laugh about! Would you be laughing if the subject was grumpy women? Why in the heck do women always and forever equate every male problem with tetestron levels. Yes, I grumpy but it because I’m a double amputee and no one gives a damn. I’m so tired of being let out/behind
