What Is Testosterone Replacement Therapy?
Testosterone is the primary male hormone that regulates energy, muscle mass, bone density, mood, libido, and cognitive function. Levels typically decline about 1% per year after age 30, and for some men, this drop leads to clinically low testosterone (hypogonadism) with noticeable symptoms.
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is a medically supervised treatment that restores levels to a healthy range. At Newport Center Urgent Care, it’s part of a broader, personalized approach to men’s health with ongoing monitoring.
Signs You May Have Low Testosterone
Recognizing low testosterone symptoms is the first step. Many men blame aging or stress, but signs like persistent fatigue, muscle loss, low libido, brain fog, mood changes, and poor sleep may point to a hormonal cause. A simple blood test can help confirm it.
It's important not to self-diagnose or attempt to self-treat with over-the-counter supplements. Many products marketed as "testosterone boosters" are unregulated and lack clinical evidence. A proper diagnosis at Newport Center Urgent Care begins with a comprehensive evaluation — including lab work, medical history review, and a thorough consultation — so that any treatment plan is grounded in real data, not guesswork.
How Testosterone Therapy Works at Newport Center Urgent Care
At Newport Center Urgent Care, TRT is overseen by Dr. Bryan Doonan. Care begins with a consultation and lab work to assess testosterone and related markers, followed by a personalized treatment plan—such as injections or gels—based on your results and preferences.
Once treatment begins, regular follow-up appointments and lab monitoring are built into your care plan to ensure your levels are optimized safely. The goal is not simply to push testosterone as high as possible, but to bring it into a healthy range that alleviates symptoms without introducing new risks. This measured, data-driven approach sets Newport Center Urgent Care apart from one-size-fits-all hormone clinics that prioritize speed over precision.
The Benefits of Medically Supervised TRT
When properly monitored, TRT can deliver noticeable results. Many men see improved energy within weeks, with gains in muscle, strength, and fat loss over the following months, along with better mood, focus, and libido. Beyond quality-of-life improvements, maintaining healthy testosterone levels has been associated with better bone density, improved metabolic health, and reduced risk of conditions linked to hormonal deficiency.
It's worth noting that TRT is not appropriate for every man — candidacy depends on your specific lab results, health history, and symptoms. That's precisely why working with a qualified physician like Dr. Doonan is essential. Self-administering testosterone without medical oversight carries real risks, including hormonal imbalance, cardiovascular concerns, and fertility impacts.

Total Testosterone: The Starting Point
Understanding your lab results starts with knowing what the numbers actually represent. In adult men, total testosterone typically falls between 300–1,000 ng/dL, with the American Urological Association using below 300 ng/dL as a diagnostic threshold for low testosterone when symptoms are present.
However, total testosterone alone doesn't tell the full story — it measures all testosterone in the blood, including the portion bound to proteins that your body cannot readily use.
Free Testosterone and SHBG: The Numbers Behind the Numbers
Only a small fraction — roughly 1–4% — circulates as "free testosterone," which is the biologically active form your body can actually use. The majority is bound to proteins, primarily sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), which tightly regulates how much testosterone is available to your tissues.
Two men with the same total testosterone—say, 350 ng/dL—can feel very different. Higher SHBG can lower usable free testosterone, causing symptoms even when total levels appear normal. Typical ranges are ~35–155 pg/mL for free testosterone and ~10–50 nmol/L for SHBG, though interpretation depends on the full clinical picture.
Estradiol, LH, FSH, and Why the Full Panel Matters
Beyond these core markers, a proper evaluation often includes estradiol (E2), luteinizing hormone (LH), and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), along with metabolic markers, which together help determine whether low testosterone originates from testicular, pituitary, or systemic causes.
Because testosterone levels fluctuate throughout the day and can be influenced by factors like obesity or insulin resistance, clinical guidelines recommend morning testing and confirmation with repeat labs before a formal diagnosis is made. At Newport Center Urgent Care, Dr. Doonan reviews your complete panel — not just a single number — to ensure your diagnosis and treatment plan are built on the full picture.
