Hi, I'm Nicole Stapp, women's health nurse practitioner at Allure Medical Spa. I want to talk to you today about hormone replacement therapy. You've probably been reading and hearing more about low testosterone, also known as low T. There's a reason this condition is gaining so much attention. Nearly half of men over the age of 45 suffer from low T. Symptoms include loss of muscle, more difficulty with erections, lower sex drive, mental fog, tiredness and fatigue. Also, you can experience less competitive edge, minor depression and irritability. If you've noticed these symptoms or that you are performing poorly at work, it's time to have your hormones checked. A simple blood test will reveal whether or not you have low testosterone. If you do have this condition, it's easily treated with hormone replacement therapy available here at Allure Medical Spa. If you still have questions about low testosterone, check out the quiz right here on our website.
