Testosterone effect: Q53.9 was inguinal hernia repair. Testosterone likely given because surgeon wants penis to be larger to facilitate hypospadias repair. Hair growth, likely more like fluff is expected side effect of hormone. I prescribe 2mg injections monthly for 1 - 4 injections, in my patients, depending upon response. Would not prescribe more than 25 mg per dose in 10 month old.

Checked: I dont know the code but you should have an idea what was done and reason for testosterone should have been explained to you- get those answers from the person who treated your child
