Andropausia: qué le pasa de verdad al hombre después de los 40
Menos energía, la barriga que crece, un deseo más apagado, y anuncios por todas partes que hablan de «testosterona baja» y «menopausia masculina». Es fácil creer que todo depende de una sola hormona y que hay que subirla cuanto antes. La realidad es más honesta y, por suerte, más esperanzadora.
No es una «menopausia masculina»
En las mujeres, la menopausia llega a todas y de forma bastante brusca. En los hombres no hay nada parecido. La testosterona baja poco a poco y de forma distinta en cada uno, y en los hombres sanos casi no desciende hasta los 70 años.
La causa principal de la bajada en la mediana edad no es la edad en sí, sino cómo vive el cuerpo: grasa de más alrededor de la cintura, diabetes, falta de sueño y apnea del sueño, estrés crónico, algunos medicamentos. Por eso, en la mayoría de los hombres de 40–60 años, la «testosterona baja» es un estado funcional y reversible, no una avería permanente.
La testosterona es más a menudo un termómetro que una causa
Esto es lo más importante. La testosterona baja suele mostrar que el cuerpo lo está pasando mal, no ser ella la que causa el problema. Si subes la cifra sin tocar la causa, normalmente no te sientes mejor.
Con la testosterona baja solo se relacionan de forma fiable los signos sexuales: menos erecciones matutinas, un deseo más apagado. Y aun así, de forma poco estricta. El cansancio, el ánimo bajo, la «niebla» mental y la pérdida de músculo apenas distinguen la testosterona baja de la falta de sueño, la depresión, el exceso de peso o la tiroides. Los cuestionarios de «comprueba tu testosterona» no funcionan mejor que lanzar una moneda.
Un anillo o un reloj no miden ni calculan la testosterona. El pulso, la variabilidad del pulso y la «preparación» dependen de decenas de cosas, desde el sueño hasta la copa de anoche. Tómalos como una señal de recuperación, no como un «nivel de hormona».
Lo que más te devuelve la forma
La cintura. La palanca más potente. La grasa alrededor de la cintura baja por sí misma la testosterona, y perder un 5–10% del peso la sube más o menos en proporción. Medir la cintura importa más que mirar la báscula.
El sueño. La falta de sueño y la apnea del sueño bajan la testosterona, y es reversible. La apnea es muy frecuente en hombres de más de 40 y casi nunca está diagnosticada. Roncar fuerte con pausas y tener sueño de día es motivo para hablar con un médico de un estudio del sueño.
El entrenamiento de fuerza. Mejora la composición del cuerpo, el ánimo y el deseo. No sube la testosterona en reposo: entrena por la fuerza y el metabolismo, no por un «pico».
Menos alcohol en exceso. El consumo moderado no baja la testosterona; el excesivo y los atracones sí, y eso también es reversible.
La buena noticia: arreglar el metabolismo mejora cómo te sientes y el deseo, aunque la cifra de testosterona se mueva poco.
Lo que conviene evitar
- Los «potenciadores de testosterona». Casi ninguno tiene pruebas de beneficio. El tribulus, el ácido D-aspártico, el boro y la DHEA no suben la testosterona. Algunos de estos productos contienen fármacos no declarados.
- Las clínicas de «testosterona baja» y las recetas online. A menudo recetan la hormona a hombres con niveles normales y no preguntan por el corazón ni por los hijos.
- La testosterona «por tu cuenta». La hormona de fuera funciona casi como un anticonceptivo masculino: frena la producción de espermatozoides, a veces durante mucho tiempo. Si todavía quieres tener hijos, esto importa todavía más. La testosterona se receta solo ante un déficit confirmado: después de dos análisis por la mañana y la decisión de un médico.
Cuándo ir al médico
- Problemas nuevos de erección entre los 40 y los 60: a menudo son una señal temprana de los vasos sanguíneos y del corazón, no solo de las hormonas. Más en el artículo «Deseo y erección después de los 40».
- Aumento del tejido mamario.
- Cambios en los testículos: más pequeños, más blandos o con un bulto.
- Dolores de cabeza nuevos, peor visión en los bordes, secreción por el pezón.
- Ánimo muy bajo. Cualquier idea de hacerte daño: busca enseguida a un profesional o una línea de ayuda en crisis.
Qué probar esta semana
- Medirte la cintura: la referencia es menos de la mitad de tu altura.
- Levantarte a la misma hora los siete días.
- Una noche sin alcohol.
