    The thing is…hormone replacement therapy isn’t really a drastic intervention. If the outcomes are not aligning with the treatment plan you simply stop taking the medication.

    There are virtually no long lasting repercussions for temporarily delaying puberty. Really the only notable side effects are that you may be a bit taller than you were going to be.

      Wait we could have delayed puberty with negative side effects but with actual benefits? Those poor 5th graders with beards would have really appreciated this info. Poor guys really struggled.

        Precocious puberty is one of the many reasons kids are put on hormone therapy, its quite common nowadays.
