I would look into it, but consider the risks and benefits carefully.
I agree with this. My dad was a late bloomer (as was his dad) and his mom forced him to get the injections. My dad ended up getting tumors in his sinuses (not sure of the name of tumors. I'm trying to find out from my dad). They were direct result of the injections and he had to have a few surgeries to remove and basically reconstruct his sinuses. He had to have blood transfusion for the surgeries and contracted hep c as a result (before they tested blood for it).
All in all, I would not take the decision lightly. Do as much research as you can and definitely get opinions from more doctors.
Good luck with whatever you choose.
Just talked to my dad. The tumors he had are called angiofibroma. The medicine he was given was halotestine. I was wrong. It was pills he was forced to take and an injection of something (I'm not sure if the same drug or not).
Also, my dad suggested taking your son to a teaching hospital and have him evaluated there. He also suggested not giving any hormones until you have first, second, and third opinions from the top MDs.
I'm not entirely sure what all the surgeries he had to have consisted of. I do know they were quite extensive. I know they had to do a lot of reconstruction. For instance, the roof of his mouth is fake.
