Low testosterone clinics are popping up everywhere, but here's what concerns me as a urologist.
Men are turning to these quick-access clinics because they can get testosterone within days instead of waiting months for a specialist appointment. The problem is many of these providers don't understand the nuances of proper testosterone evaluation or treatment protocols.
If you're a younger man considering testosterone therapy, you may not be getting critical fertility counseling before starting treatment. Testosterone can suppress sperm production, and that's a conversation that needs to happen before your first dose.
This isn't about gatekeeping care. It's about making sure the right patients get the right treatment with the right counseling.
Send this to someone considering testosterone therapy so they know what questions to ask first.
