精彩对白

Nick: Dr., you may not remember me.

Doctor: Yes?

Nick: I'm Nick Marshall. I came here about ten years ago with my ex-wife, Gigi.

Doctor: Oh, Christ, not him.

Nick: Oh, good, you remember me. I'm sorry to barge in like this, but I don't know who to turn to. I'm afraid to go to work. I'm afraid of my door woman. I'm... I'm afraid to get a cup of coffee.

Doctor: Mr. Marshall, please slow down. Slow down. Let me make sure I completely understand what it is you're saying.

Nick: All right. All right. I hear what women think.

Doctor: Yeah. You know, Mr. Marshall, this kind of imaginary displacement scenario...

Nick: I'm not imag...

Doctor: - really isn't my thing. I do, however, have a very good friend over at University Hospital, who specializes in male menopause and testosterone depletion. She's fabulous. I think what I'll do is just give her a ring...and send you over there. Why did I answer my door? I was so into buying that lamp on eBay.

Nick: How much was it going for?

Doctor: How much was what going for?

Nick: The lamp on eBay.

Doctor: Oh, I see. That's good. Very clever. Dr. Skolnick, please.

Nick: You don't believe me. Try another. Go on. Pick a number. Give it a whirl. Any number.

Doctor: Okay. A number between one and...

Nick: A million. Why not?

Doctor: One and a million. All right. Mm.

Nick: 644,998... 99... 90. Wanna make a decision here?

Doctor: Oy vay!

Nick: Oh, you can say that again.

Doctor: I didn't say anything.

Nick: I know, but it doesn't mean I didn't hear it.

Doctor: Okay. Okay. Let's say... Let's say I do believe you.

Nick: Yeah.

Doctor: You can hear what women think. Even though I'm a grown woman of... 51. 47.

Nick: Oh, my lips are sealed.

Doctor: Holy crap! Oh, forgive me.

Nick: That's all right.

Doctor: But this is phenomenal. You can hear inside my head.

Nick: Yes.

Doctor: Why would you want to get rid of such a brilliant gift?

Nick: Well, for starters, almost every woman I know thinks I'm an asshole.

Doctor: That's what I thought when I met you.

Nick: Doc, give me a break here.

Doctor: Mr. Marshall, you might find this a little unorthodox, but would you mind awfully if I smoked?

Nick: No, no, I understand.

Doctor: Thank you. Thank you so much. Let's try to look at the up side of this, shall we? You know, Freud died at age 83 still asking one question,"What do women want?" Wouldn't it be strange and wonderful if you were the one man on Earth...finally able to answer that question? Listen to me, Nick. Something extraordinary...and I think miraculous has happened to you. My advice is you must learn from this. You know, there isn't a single woman that I treat...that doesn't wish her man understood her better. If men are from Mars and women are from Venus and you speak Venusian, the world can be yours. I don't know how this happened to you or why, but you may just be the luckiest man on Earth. Imagine the possibilities. If you know what women want, you can rule.

男性更年期

一般男性到了五十岁以后,雄性激素(androgen)的机能会逐渐衰退,特别是睾酮(testosterone)的分泌会减少,这种因为体内荷尔蒙分泌的变化所产生的身心障碍,就是所谓的「男性更年期」。有许多的名词曾经被用来描述男性所经历的这个生命阶段:男性停经期(male menopause)、男性停性期(viropause)、男性性衰期(male climacteric)、男性阳衰期(penopause)、男性乏性期(andropenia)以及男性更年期(andropause)。

“男性更年期”不是一个新名词,至少在医学界不是。早在1939年,西方学者海勒就提出了“男性更年期”的概念。当时,他首次采用“男性更年期”一词来描述发生在中老年男性身上的不适症状。在一些40-70岁的男性身上,同时或先后表现出精神紧张或抑郁、易于疲倦、记忆力下降、注意力不集中、失眠、阵发性潮热、出汗、性欲下降和勃起功能障碍等症状,海勒把这一现象称为“男性更年期综合征”。1944年,海勒根据自己大量的临床观察发现,产生“男性更年期”现象的主要是那些肩负重任的男性,他们需要更充沛的体力、更健康的体魄和更加良好的心态,而“男性更年期”的现象打扰了他们的生活,他们因此受到困扰。

除了年龄因素以外,男性更年期还存在高发人群。他们常常有下列几种情况:工作生活压力大,如白领、经理等;患有慢性疾病,如糖尿病、抑郁症、心血管疾病等;有不良生活方式,如抽烟、酗酒等;生活环境恶劣;缺乏体育运动;腹部肥胖等。

改善症状首先要加强体育锻炼、增强体质、振奋精神、保持平和乐观的情绪、养成良好的生活习惯。家人、同事的关心和理解也很重要。中医理论对此症有一定的见解,根据不同的分型,选择相应的治疗加以调理,如滋肝养肾等。

补充睾酮的疗法在理论上有其合理性。实践证明,睾酮治疗可以改善总的健康状态和情绪,提高性欲,增加肌力和骨质密度。目前较为理想的药物是口服睾酮类药物。(来源:百度百科)
