Anti-Aging Care by a Cosmetic Physician Specializing in Male Menopause
Male menopause refers to symptoms caused by the decline in testosterone, the male hormone, due to aging, leading to various physical and mental discomforts. Symptoms often appear in men in their 40s and 50s who become central figures at work and are entrusted with management roles, impacting their business performance.
Symptoms of male menopause include physical symptoms such as general fatigue, insomnia, ED (erectile dysfunction), and thinning hair, as well as mental symptoms like decreased concentration, irritability, and depression. If you're middle-aged and notice physical or mental changes like feeling easily fatigued or irritable, you may be experiencing male menopause.
At BIANCA CLINIC, our aesthetic medicine specialists, well-versed in male menopause, provide consultations. Based on blood tests, saliva tests, and medical interviews, we customize and propose the following treatments for each patient. The primary treatments for male menopause are as follows:
・Hormone therapy targeting testosterone
・Peptide therapy enabling multifaceted approaches
・Lifestyle guidance and nutritional guidance
Whether for business or personal reasons, if you're in your late 30s or older and feeling a decline in performance, we encourage you to consult with BIANCA CLINIC. To accommodate busy executives and managers, we also offer online consultations with our aesthetic medicine specialists.

CHARACTERISTICSTestosterone Replacement Therapy
Testosterone replacement therapy is one treatment method that supplements hormones that become deficient with age. Testosterone, a male hormone, peaks in the 20s and gradually decreases with age.Decreased testosterone levels cause male menopause symptoms such as frequent urination, decreased sexual function, hot flashes, fatigue, anxiety, decreased motivation, and insomnia.The rate of testosterone decline varies from person to person, and male menopause is a condition that can occur at any time during one's 40s, 50s, or 60s.
At BIANCA CLINIC, we diagnose male menopause by assessing both subjective symptoms and testosterone levels through blood tests. If testosterone is low, we recommend treating menopausal symptoms with natural hormone replacement therapy, which carries a lower risk of side effects.
The following are the expected effects of testosterone replacement therapy for male menopause treatment:
・Improved overall energy levels
・Increased libido
・Mental clarity and improved mood
Results may vary, but the effects of testosterone replacement therapy are typically noticeable within 2 weeks to 3 months. In some cases, DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) replacement therapy, which functions as a testosterone precursor, is also used concurrently. Hormone replacement therapy is gaining attention as an internal anti-aging treatment and is suitable for those experiencing age-related discomfort.
Peptide Therapy
Peptide therapy is a treatment that replenishes peptides, which decrease with age. As an innovative longevity medicine capable of precisely targeting specific concerns and symptoms, peptide therapy is gaining attention in countries leading in anti-aging care. Peptides are produced within the body and perform a wide range of functions, including acting as hormones, neurotransmitters, and growth factors. However, their levels decrease with age. This reduction in peptides is considered one factor contributing to the progression of bodily aging. Consequently, peptide therapy has seen growing application in recent years as a treatment to support health from within, prevent aging, and rejuvenate biological age.
At BIANCA CLINIC, we analyze deficient peptides through blood and saliva tests. We then provide treatment to replenish these deficient peptides via injection, oral medication, or nasal spray. The two primary peptide therapies for individuals experiencing male menopause symptoms are as follows:
・Semax, effective for improving concentration and memory
・PT-141, which is expected to be effective for improving libido and increasing erectile strength
PT-141 is not an erectile dysfunction medication that increases penile blood flow like Cialis (generic name: tadalafil) or Viagra (generic name: sildenafil citrate). Instead, it targets the brain's response to sexual stimulation. Therefore, it can be expected to improve libido in both men and women. At BIANCA CLINIC, our peptide therapy involves a physician assessing the patient's condition and proposing the most suitable treatment from several types of peptides, including "Semax" and "PT-141".
Lifestyle Guidance and Nutritional Therapy
Revising lifestyle habits and incorporating nutritional therapy can also aid in treating male menopause and aging care. For instance, excessive sugar intake is believed to deplete nutrients like magnesium and B vitamins. Furthermore, B vitamins are consumed during alcohol breakdown, making it especially important for those who enjoy alcohol to be mindful. Deficiencies in these nutrients can lead to fatigue, muscle cramps, and reduced concentration, potentially causing symptoms similar to male menopause.
At BIANCA CLINIC, we may recommend orthomolecular nutritional therapy alongside hormone therapy and peptide therapy. Orthomolecular nutrition therapy is a treatment approach that uses blood and urine tests to assess nutritional status. Based on this assessment, we provide dietary guidance, recommend nutritional supplementation, and suggest lifestyle adjustments. Feelings of constant fatigue or lack of motivation can sometimes stem from nutritional deficiencies. If you wish to improve these symptoms, we encourage you to consider treatment at BIANCA CLINIC.

RECOMMENDED POINTSMenopause in men may be the cause of health issues in your 40s and 50s
Middle-aged men in management and executive roles who shoulder critical responsibilities—do you attribute your fatigue, low mood, and irritability solely to work demands? Physical discomfort occurring in your 40s and beyond may stem not only from busyness, but also from male menopause. As testosterone and certain peptides in the body decline with age, symptoms of male menopause can appear in anyone from their late 30s onward.
Male menopause can be treated. Starting treatment early can prevent a decline in performance and help you achieve fulfillment in both your work and personal life. Symptoms of male menopause vary and include fatigue, hot flashes, dizziness, frequent urination, decreased libido, and insomnia. If you experience any concerning symptoms, please consult a doctor.
Maintain your masculine appeal with anti-aging treatments from within
Business owners and managers often overlook changes in their own health due to their busy schedules. Even when feeling easily fatigued, they may dismiss it as not being a serious illness and neglect it. Whether experiencing male menopause or not, it's crucial to first identify the cause of your discomfort. Once the cause is determined, appropriate treatment can help build a body less prone to accumulating fatigue.
For busy business professionals whose irregular lifestyles and unhealthy eating habits have become routine, we recommend treatments that address aging from within. We now live in an era where aging can be treated. To remain a youthful and charismatic man, consider BIANCA CLINIC's anti-aging treatments.
Age gracefully with comprehensive anti-aging care
Treating male menopause symptoms like fatigue, irritability, and depression from within the body is essential, but improving your appearance—including your face and physique—is also crucial for becoming an attractive man. No matter how busy you are, a lack of cleanliness, such as rough skin or an unkempt physique, will affect your credibility in business.
At BIANCA CLINIC, we have specialists in internal medicine for beauty, dermatologists for skin treatment, and plastic surgeons for appearance enhancement. We pursue health and beauty from multiple angles, not just one perspective. Beyond male menopause, we also offer treatments targeting muscle building and biological age.

Frequently Asked Questions About Male Menopause
Q&AWhat symptoms appear in male menopause?
Symptoms of male menopause include physical symptoms such as fatigue, hot flashes, obesity, hair thinning, and frequent urination, as well as psychological symptoms like irritability, anxiety, and depression. Furthermore, sexual dysfunction symptoms such as erectile dysfunction (ED) and decreased libido are also characteristic of male menopause.
At what age should one start considering the possibility of male menopause?
Testosterone levels peak in one's 20s and gradually decline thereafter, meaning male menopause can occur even in men in their 30s. While symptoms are most commonly reported in men in their 40s and 50s, the rate of testosterone decline varies significantly between individuals. Therefore, regardless of age—whether in your 30s or 60s—if you experience concerning symptoms such as fatigue, difficulty concentrating, or erectile dysfunction, it is recommended that you consult a doctor.
Who is more likely to experience male menopause?
The decline in testosterone, a male hormone, occurs with aging, meaning anyone can experience male menopause. However, stress is considered a major contributing factor to male menopause. Therefore, individuals experiencing stress are more likely to develop male menopause.
How long does treatment for male menopause last?
To achieve the effects of hormone replacement therapy, peptide therapy, and nutritional therapy used in treating male menopause, it typically takes about 3 to 6 months. Even after male menopause symptoms improve, it is recommended to remain mindful of changes in your physical condition and continue follow-up care.
How do male menopause and female menopause differ?
Male menopause primarily involves male hormones, while female menopause primarily involves female hormones. Symptoms of female menopause include headaches, fatigue, swelling, palpitations, numbness, dizziness, hot flashes, irritability, and more. Since female menopause occurs during the 10 years surrounding menopause, symptoms gradually improve after this period. In contrast, because testosterone levels in men continue to decline, symptoms of male menopause can potentially occur at any age due to aging.
Does male menopause resolve on its own without treatment?
Since testosterone levels remain low, which is the cause of male menopause, male menopause symptoms rarely resolve naturally. The male hormone testosterone is not only linked to ED but is also deeply associated with arteriosclerosis. Therefore, considering the risk of heart disease and stroke, treatment is recommended.
Which department should I visit for male menopause?
Many clinics lack specialized outpatient services for male menopause, so patients often visit urology departments. However, since male menopause symptoms encompass physical, psychological, and sexual dysfunction issues, patients may also consult internal medicine or psychosomatic medicine departments. At BIANCA CLINIC, our aesthetic medicine specialists, well-versed in age-related symptoms and treatments, provide consultations and care. If you are struggling to choose a hospital for male menopause, please consider consulting BIANCA CLINIC.
Are supplements and herbal remedies effective enough for male menopause?
Supplements and herbal medicines that address male menopause symptoms are also available for purchase. Bananas have even been discussed as a food beneficial for male menopause. By replenishing nutrients that decrease with age, it may be possible to alleviate male menopause symptoms. However, to effectively treat male menopause, identifying the underlying cause is crucial. Therefore, treatment at a hospital like BIANCA CLINIC, which provides customized treatment based on the cause after appropriate testing, is recommended.
