Low testosterone: Low levels of this hormone during puberty can affect thepubertal changes to varying degrees depending on the levels. It may cause delayed maturation of bones to underdeveloped secondary sexual charactreristics. If you have low levels or your child has this please see an endocrinologist asap. It can also affect mood and activity levels.
