If you have had: A full evaluation, the doctor is probably attempting to initiate puberty with testosterone replacement. Hopefully they have discussed all the pros and cons with you before you make your decision.

Before you do that,: you need a Chromosomal Microarray to rule out Klinefelter's Syndrome & other genetic disorders and an evaluation by an endocrinologist.
