Patient Name: Aarav Khan. Age: 48...
Patient Name: Aarav Khan. Age: 48. Background: A high school principal, married with two teenage children. He has been experiencing significant fatigue, irritability, night sweats disrupting his sleep, and a noticeable decline in his libido for about 18 months, which has caused tension in his marriage. He initially attributed it to work stress. Symptoms/History: Irregular periods (cycles ranging from 21 to 45 days), severe night sweats, mood swings, low energy, and decreased sexual desire. Doctor Recommendation: After blood tests confirmed hormonal fluctuations consistent with perimenopause (low testosterone, fluctuating estrogen), his gynecologist recommended a comprehensive approach: lifestyle counseling (stress management, sleep hygiene), a trial of a low-dose SSRI for mood and hot flashes, and testosterone gel therapy to address fatigue and low libido. Treatment Experience: Aarav was hesitant about hormone therapy but agreed to a careful, monitored trial. He started the SSRI and made dietary changes first, with modest improvement. Adding the testosterone gel required regular blood work to ensure safety. Emotional Journey: Before, he felt confused and 'less of himself,' embarrassed to discuss 'women's issues' and worried his career drive was fading. After 4 months of treatment, with improved sleep and stable mood, he feels more like his old self. He's become an advocate for men's health, speaking openly with friends about andropause/male menopause. Recovery Outcome: Night sweats resolved, energy levels restored, and marital intimacy improved. He continues annual monitoring with his doctor.
