i'm a 26 year old male who suffered a head injury in 1999. i've had very low/low normal testosterone levels ever since. i've had many of the symptoms of this - erectile dysfunction, fatigue, limited facial hair, etc. what i want to know is this : i was 18 when i suffered the head injury and had not finished through puberty from what i could tell (could only grow a patchy beard. no one in my family can't grow one - father, both grandfathers, etc)... this is a bit different from my other concerns, but i'm wondering - will my penis get any larger with treatment? it is around 6 inches now, but i'm wondering - if my testosterone deficiency started before i finished through puberty, that means my penis probably didn't get to "full size" right? i have had some ED problems since my head injury, probably related to the lowered testosterone.
strange question, i know. and it's not nearly as important as the other problems of hypogonadism. i'm at 6" now which is respectable, but more is better.=)

oh, btw... the "treatment" i'm referring to is androgel, which i am starting this week...
starting at 2.5mg androgel applied daily and seeing how effective that is...

CoolDude : i am receiving treatment from an endocrinologist... i have had some of my questions answered, but forgot to ask him about penis size in particular. he had already told me i was fully developed there, etc. so that was kind of the end of it... you know how hard it is to get all of your questions out at an appointment! :) anyway, i'm sure he meant "sufficiently" developed. "some men are bigger than others" right? so, i'm wondering if i could possibly have more growing to do there that might be spurred by the treatment.
