Testosterone therapy is used to treat delayed maturity, but only for a limited course. Testicular enlargement is the first change associated with puberty and is a sign that puberty has begun. Males with hypogonadism need treatment for 3 to 4 years. Acne and facial hair are common side effects. Attaining complete sexual maturation is not necessary.
