Hello
Thanks for query .

Based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have been taking steroids since last four years and have noted your testicles to be small and your growth pattern is slow as compared to your age .

Taking exogenous steroids disturbs a pituitary hypothalamus axis which controls the production of Growth hormone and Testosterone This results in to diminished production of indigenous Testosterone causing arrest in growth of the testicles and general growth of muscles and bones .

Consult qualified Endocrinologist for examination and hormonal assessment and further treatment .

Do not take any hormonal preparations on your own .
