Safe when used carefully under a doctors supervision and advise

Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. Some individuals mature early, and some mature late, but as long as all is going well medically, there should be no reason to intervene.

I would first recommend a check on your hormone levels, and if there is some abnormality there or deficiency, then we can consider initiation of testosterone shots. They have to be well controlled, as there are a few side effects. If at all you need them, then your doctor can carefully administer them and also supervise your progress and only provide you with how much you will need.

I would thus recommend scheduling an appointment with a physician, who can first conduct a few tests and then go ahead with initiation of testosterone. Please do not hesitate to write back to me for any further clarifications, I would be more than happy to help.

Best wishes.
