How will testosterone injections affect my son?


Question:
My son, 16, is having his first testosterone injection today. He has a genetic adrenal gland problem where he doesn't produc any testosterone. H'll be receieving 50 mg. every four weeks. What side effects will we encounter? How long till we start seeing results? I am asking for other's experiences because the doctor has not been very good at answering my questions. Thank you!

Answers:
Because his body is not already producng testosterone he won't be taking in extra which could lead to aggression.
The changes i would think to look out for would be facial hair growing, baby looks disappearing, deepening of his voice, a more muscular frame. The same things that would happen if his body had been producing testosterone on its own.

Have you tried surfing the web for more info
With something that important, you need to pin your doctor down and make sure he answers your questions. After all, he is not the only doctor and if he is acting shady about answering then I would definitely want to speak with another one.
I know that there are many illnesses that require young men to take testosterone, I do not however know the safe levels. If it were me I would be all over the Internet researching though.
Reason being, all over the news lately they have been talking about that wrestler Chris Benoit, now I know that they though it was steroid induced, but they only found high levels of testosterone, nothing else was abnormal. I am not making a realistic comparison here, but it seems to me that there are dangers with testosterone and if it were my son, I would know everything, and I mean everything before they started his treatments. I would start by typing Testosterone into Y Search and go from there.
Good Luck to you, and I hope that you get all of the answers that you need and deserve.
