There is something called "male menopause", but it's more psychological; it's also called a "mid-life crisis".

Male fertility does decline with age, but even old men can often still father a child.

What age does menopause starts?

Most woman will experience menopause in her 40s to 50s, however every woman goes through menopause in a unique and different way.

Women begin menopause between the ages of forty-five and fifty-five with the average age being fifty-one years old; the actual timing varying from woman to woman. Menopausal symptoms usually happen before menopause starts; this stage is commonly referred as peri-menopause and can last up to ten years.

That is not the case for an increasingly large number of women in their 30's who are experiencing hot flashes, mood swings, disturbed sleep patterns, and other menopausal symptoms. A recent study done at the Imperial College London found that more than 1 in 20 women will go through an early menopause.

How do you get the yellow brassy color out of your hair or tone it down?

I have found the best way to rid your hair of the brassy colors is: First: when you go to have the re-growth touched up, run the bleach all the way through your hair again. Also, a toner soak for about 5 minutes can do amazing wonders. Second: make sure you are using the right products. Purple shampoo and conditioner should be used at least once a week. Redken makes a Pure Pearl conditioner that is probably the greatest product I've ever found for my bleached hair. Not only does it keep your hair very healthy and smelling nice, it's a purple so it helps get those yellows and brassy spots out.

What to do if your my mom is going through menopause?

Okay, well this one is hard. But don't worry the same is happening for me. When she yells at you ( which she will ) , try as hard as you can not to yell back. Just be silent, or politly disagree. Don't whine either. Do what she tells you to do. But you don't have to do this all the time, or she will suspect you are kissing up to her, and she will yell, cry, or get depressed. Another thing to remember is when women are going through menopause, their hormones are ALL out of whack. So they usually don't mean allot of what they say. And yes, they will cry.. ALLOT... But just hold on because this crazy hormone cycle will end someday. :-)

Can you get hot flashes without ovaries?

Absolutely! I had a hysterectomy 22 years ago. They also removed my ovaries. I had been on Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) until 4 years ago, when the doctor suggested I just quit and see what happens. I started hot flashes about a month later and have had them since. I don't suffer from night sweats, thank goodness! If I'm outside and my body is mostly cool, I don't notice them at all. If I'm inside, or in the car, where it's warm, I get one almost every hour. It lasts about 2 minutes (of which I feel like I'm going to melt), but it subsides as fast as it comes on and everything is okay until the next one. My question is this: how long will these hot flashes go on? Nobody seems to know, as far as I can tell. I tried soy milk and Black Cohosh, but they seemed to make the hot flashes worse (I'm wondering if that is because I don't have ovaries). I haven't found anything that would help hot flashes IF the soy and Black Cohosh make it worse. Hope this helps, Linda

The easiest answer is that the test was wrong and that you need to go back again. Other than being pregnant or being on birth control, although the cycles of menstruation my vary, usually do to stress, drugs, or just the variations of life, if you have not had a baby within that year and a half, something i believe you would notice :), then you should be retested for menopause.
