A member asked:

If you have a low testosterone as a male will depo-provera testosterone help?

Dr. Michael Sinclair answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

Probably: Giving testosterone by depot injections can help, but at your young age, if that is the only treatment you get, your testicles will start to produce even less testosterone and then they will atrophy...Shrink and quit working. A combination of meds that stimulate the testes plus testosterone will probably work better.
