Question
How should a 14-year-old boy with low testosterone be treated?
Answer
Testosterone is a steroid hormone produced by the testicles in males, with a small amount also secreted by the adrenal glands. The treatment for low testosterone is with testosterone undecanoate injection, which helps stimulate testosterone production. Additionally, it’s important to engage in regular exercise to strengthen the immune system, maintain mental well-being, and reduce stress. There are many causes of pediatric endocrine disorders.

Parents should also be cautious not to let their children develop picky eating habits and should ensure a balanced diet.
