A member asked:

If i have hypogonadism, is it too late to start treatment for puberty?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

It is never too late: No matter what age you can start at any age, some have said though that response might not be as dramatic as when you treat during the typical age of puberty.

Hypogonadism: It's really never"too late" to treat low gonadal hormones. These can be replaced as an adult.
