Have him do a testosterone Level its a blood test. he might also do a semen level. Also
have him check all test involving the pituitary gland.
I am kinda under developed. I have a blood disorder called Hemocromatotis. Its Iron overload. my body stores Iron. Well i went years being  misdiagnosed and it ruined my
pituitary gland. So I have to take Andal-gel and or Depo- testosterone.
Lucky it has not impacted my Sexual functions.

Yes, it's used routinely for that purpose. But there are many reasons for delayed puberty, and your perception of "puberty not progressing" might not be accurate. So it might be the right drug for you, or it might be the wrong drug for a problem that needs some other treatment, or it might be the wrong drug becaue your problem is resolving itself anyway. You need to be evaluated carefully by a doctor. Please, please don't just try something on you own. Message me if you want to discuss further.
