hi,
welcome to hcm
thanks for the query
In males, pubertal onset is started when testicular enlargement to a diameter of 2.5 cm or a volume of 4ml or greater or if testicular enlargement does not occur by 14 years of age, there is lack of pubic hair by age 15 years.
so the diagnosis is made by a thorough history and physical examination
its better to consult your doctor for these details.
take care
