My son was born 7.5 months premature and has a hypospadias problem. The doctor suggested Testoviron depot injections for his penile growth. Are there risks or side effects, especially after surgery?
In order to increase penile size prior to hypospadias surgery, short-term Testoviron injections are occasionally utilized. When appropriately managed, these injections typically do not result in long-term injury. It should only be administered under the supervision of a pediatric urologist or endocrinologist due to potential transient side effects such as mild edema, skin darkening, or early pubic hair.
