Testosterone Injections
Question
One of the Foundation's publications addresses the use of testosterone injections for issues of puberty but that they can increase negative behaviors. Do you find this to be true? Can they be used to modify one behavior and replace it with a possibly less harmful one?
Answer of our experts
Testosterone, like any steroid, can have negative behavioral effects. Testosterone treatment can be considered if secondary sexual characteristics have not yet started in puberty, although it will stop further height gain. Furthermore, it can increase aggression.
