‘As well as having menopause guidance we also support anyone within the organisation who is affected directly or indirectly by the andropause.'
The East Midlands Ambulance Service has been told to make allowances for staff experiencing symptoms associated with a drop in testosterone levels – which takes place over time as a man gets older.
Managers at the trust have been told to provide additional uniforms, portable fans and change shift patterns to assist male staff members experiencing this, Tina Richardson, deputy director of human resources at EMAS, said: ‘As well as having menopause guidance we also support anyone within the organisation who is affected directly or indirectly by the andropause.‘That will support absences which may result from symptoms of the andropause or where time off for medical appointments is required.
She added: ‘These hormones oscillate throughout a woman’s fertile years and changes in their levels can cause physical and psychological issues, such as premenstrual syndrome and during the perimenopause, can result in many symptoms that can severely affect a woman’s life.
