Brief Answer:
Constitutional growth delay.wait and watch procedure can be adopted.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,
I understand your query and concern.
Testosterone levels are marginally low.
Height is on lower side of the normal range.
Somatomedin C and serum creatinine both are within the normal range.
This could be Constitutional delay in puberty onset.
Many of the children resume to their normal height and testosterone levels within one year.
Hence I advise you to wait for one year and repeat all the tests.
As of now ,your son doesn't need any medications.
Post your further queries if any,
Thank you.
