What the study found
Urologists led one in ten of the clinics selling testosterone
A review of 223 standalone US men's health clinic websites found 87.9% advertising testosterone replacement. Listed providers came from twenty medical and alternative-medicine specialties, most often internal and family medicine. A urologist led 10.3%, and 20.1% named nobody at all.
The caveat · What websites claim, not care given
This reads what clinics say on their own websites, not what care they deliver or what happens to patients. The clinics were found by internet search, so the sample is neither exhaustive nor random. Website content changes, which dates the snapshot. And it describes the market around testosterone rather than saying anything about the drug itself.
