You will be alright. It's not a serious problem.
It is actually a serious problem if he's has undescended testicles at this age and has not gone for surgery to bring it down.
@op I don't want to scare you with medical jargon but if you have undescended testicles at this age you need to run to a general hospital asap

I'm a medical doctor. From your description, you have undescended testicles and because it has lasted for so long, heat might have killed your testicles and they won't work anymore to produce sperm cells or testosterone hormone which is responsible for male sexual development (bass voice, facial hair, armpit hair, pubic hair and other masculine features). You should go to an endocrinologist ASAP, he can help you with testosterone supplements that will give you your desired masculine features in no time. Also get your testicles checked out, I hope this helps.
Chai you should not have said this all directly. As a doctor you know saying this without the necessary steps can lead to serious mental implications for a patient

Hi all, i have been a guest on NL for a long time but seeing this thread https://www.nairaland.com/6069700/look-too-young-find-it makes me want to come out and share what has been giving me serious headache.

I will be 28 in a month but i have not been able to hit puberty fully. Can count how many strand of hair on my pp, no armpit hair, no facial changes used to be short then i start growing from like 5.7' to 6.5'. No lies it's a very big disgrace when kids that will see my junior brother and bow their heads expect me to call them egbon.


But I have worked on my self esteem, gave myself confidence by reading inspirational books, learnt boxing, build my body, learnt dancing and i can very well say all this have really boost my confidence, i built my confidence by writing job application to jobs i know im over qualified for and intentionally bully the unlucky hr that will interview me �. I am able to read people and give good advices, as a matter of fact, i (despite my baby face) take adult Sunday School at church and I'm able to take my classes like a piece of cake (With God enabling me btw).

Never dated or toast before not cos im scared of being turned down inface i have a lot of babes that really show me emotions but because I'm scared of how the girl will act towards me when she find out my secret and i am gonna keep it that way because i can't really take heartbreak because of something i can't control. I
already have a good paying Job and finances not my problem so this is my only headache but will i still become normal? Have you overcome something like this? Or do you know how i can correct things?

I have been a guest on NL for more than 7 years. Try be a troll first smiley y'all taught me
Your height, late puberty, delay in the development of secondary sexual characteristics.... etc are pointer to a genetic abnormality called Kleinefelter's syndrome, google it.

Klinefelter is bad, if he truly has that then he'll most probably be infertile for life. Although with a modern technique, he might be able to get a woman pregnant but will that technique be available in Nigeria?

You need to understand what metabolism itself is. Klinefelter's syndrome itself is a metabolic disorder.

All diseases in nature has one or two things to do with metabolic disorder.

My initial stance was to keep quiet while you continue your discussion with the other NLander on whether the op's medical challenges is secondary to a metabolic disorder or not. However, seeing this latest comment from you, I felt compelled to wade in. This is not a metabolic disorder, not even close.

@Horerku
I am sorry about your condition.
you are being investigated for hormonal and genetic disorders. As it has been said by many here, Klinefelter syndrome is high possibility. I wish you have results of tests done so far, we could have started from there.
I would advise you to scan or make copies of your medical laboratory requests and results if you have access to them.
if are planning to switch to luth or other hospitals, please request for copies of your results or comprehensive medical report.
I wish you the best.

TSH aka Thyroid stimulating test points to a problem with the thyroids. Thyrotoxicosis will not cause a delay in puberty neither will it lead to a tall stature beyond the mid-parental height as it promotes the early closure of the epiphyses.

Similarly, hypothyroidism is not related to delayed puberty in males and can lead to macroorchidism (big testicles) which is in contradistinction to what the op is complaining about here. Hypothyroidism will also cause short stature which isn't also the case here.

At op, I am also very much interested in your bone age. It will be interesting to see what age your body thinks it is vs what your real age is. An xray of your left hand will give us a clue.

Had a rough and very terrible upbringing. So that's a major suspect but been trying to balance that part. I have started eating good and take care of myself well, but instead of getting becoming mature i have been having height. Although i think the height thing have stopped now, cos i sense i grow taller every month before but i think for past 6 months i haven't grown taller.



I'm not a troll sir, please calm down

Looking at what you are going through and the story of your life, there is likely a link between what you are going through and your terrible upbringing. There is an intelligence that runs through life.

My guess is that you have a tall and abusive dad/caregiver in the mix somewhere. That will be the subconscious reason for your body's decision to skip puberty and reach adulthood quickly and also the logic behind the quick spurt of growth to 6.5 to rise above the height and the intimidation of the fearful abuser. This was an adaptation to protect you and keep you and your loved ones safe. Life is intelligent.

If there is some semblance of truth to this my conjecture, then I will also encourage you to to go to a therapist to heal your traumatic past in addition to your hospital trips. Mind-body medicine has proven that what happens in our minds affect what happens to our body and that we can heal our body by healing our minds.

My 2 cents.

We can talk more about this if you wish.

Apparently this is not clear. But I'll use as much layman's terms as possible to explain.

The scrotrum (rugae bag that holds the balls) is so shaped and structured for different reasons one of which is to carefully control the temperature of the two balls in it within acceptable limits of temperature that is conducive for formation and survival of sperm cells and the production of hormones (regulatory chemicals of the human body). This bag can contract to "tightly pack" the balls when the temperature is cold or relax to give a "dangling" appearance when temperature is warm.

In the womb, the male baby develops its balls inside the abdomen but when delivery is getting close, the two balls slowly descend and enter the scrotrum (bags). When male babies are born, the doctors examine the bags to determine if the balls are there. If not, the mother may be adviced to regularly check for it and if by 5 or 6 months the bags are still empty then the child is brought in for evaluation.

If it remains within the groin or abdomen after 6 months, an undesvetnded tested is likely. It requires quick surgical fix otherwise it proves to have undesirable health risks such as infertility and increased risk for testicular cancer, which is understandably true because the balls which should be within well regulated temperature will now be exposed to the persistently hot mileau of the abdomen or groin. Like chicken eggs which requires tightly controlled temperature to hatch failure of which it remains as eggs which then rots away.

Parents are responsible for observing their children over the years leading to puberty for features that are off which should immediately be reported to the doctor. I remember wify being worried over something as flimsy as a tiny foreskin fragment remaining for some months after the circumcision of our boy. To her, the circumcision was not perfected at that point being a medical person that has herself either witnessed or done a number of such procedures. She was sore worried it may affect the child's manly (sexual) functions. Though the redundant skin later slid off but it still took some convincing from me and later her observation of the presence of normal early morning penile turmescence (erections) in the boy for her to rest her mind.

FreeSpirited:


Stop talking Bullshit... How does it relate with metabolic disorder?? smh

Don't be like this. How is it unrelated? cheesy Endocrine and metabolic disorders can indeed co-exist in a number of Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndromes.

Maybe you're not a medical personnel though. It's not bad to have dissenting opinion on issues but don't act like your own opinion is the incontrovertible one. And even if your opinion is the gospel truth, which it is not, that's no reason to be brash; that is not a nice way to disagree.

Having said that, the OP's case is not something to trivialise. He is advanced in age and should HAVE negotiated some developmental stages before now, stages which he himself feels he has not experienced. This is usually one of the first symptoms patients themselves notice that makes them to seek medical opinion. And I think the OP was a little slack in acting. He should have complained to his parents when he is around 22 years and notices features off with his secondary sexual characteristics. If he is shy about talking to his parents, information abound on the internet these days (the luxury we did not have as teenagers) to arm yourself with when going to talk to your parents or the doctor about it.

I don't subscribe to the "do not to worry", "you're blessed with not having to shave down there", "you're blessed with baby face and girly voice to sing", "you're just a late bloomer" and "as long as you have erection, then you need not worry" responses. There are enough worries for person for this world already and adding the issue of having to visit the doctor in order to give woman belle to it is not something desirable.

Horerku:

My dad was once sick (4years back), he was admitted at lasuth and during the time i was with him there, i tried getting medical help but it was a very regrettable experience. After using hours and days at family clinic (i get there by 7 and see doctor by 11 or 12), I was referred to their endocrine section. But the problem was first time i visit the endocrine cos they open only Tuesday and Thursday i met a doctor who examined me (in front of students o) and asked me to run some tests which amount to 45k (6 tests). I did the tests and next appointment was two weeks later. Next time i went there with the tests, i met another doctor who just browsed through my file and results and instead of prescribing drug or say u go through this treatment he wrote another test which was 65k (2 tests). I did this too and was asked to come again in 2 weeks almost 120k on test alone. Believe me you next time i went again they were on strike and the lady at the records gave me a month appointment, after the strike i went and when i will see doctor again, it was not any of the first 2 doctors �. Although this was an elderly woman, asked me questions, went through my files, checked first test results and second one, brought out one thing like big beads like this and checked my throat. After all those guess what? She asked me to go for another test again. The price of this was 145k! I was broke already i spent saving for house rent on inconclusive tests and I'm asked to go for a new one. I just kept crying in the bus till i got home cos i feel swindled and punished for what is not my fault. I tore the hospital card and never went back there. Because if the tests were that expensive how much with the treatment be? Reason I'm trying to see if i can see a private hospital doctor that will help me out. I almost ended my life after my experience at lasuth i don't if luth won't be same old story.

Tightly packed...
Ohh.. Then you are right to say you have not reach puberty truly. Let me tell you, the physiological problem is that you have inadequate hormone of either gonaldotrophin or Androgen or both. I fear if this is the case after laboratory testing, You are already acting too late, the corrections are expensive drugs and injections but must have started at infant not age 28. Your testicles must have been negatively affected by your body temperature since the scrotum were tightly packed. This is not your fault but the stupidity of yhe Dr and nurse where you are delivered plus the ingnorance of your parent. Every male child must be placed in a bowl of water to check if the scrotum float or attempt to float on the water, if it those not float or attept to float this your problem is bound to happen. Very high risk of what we call 'impotential coendi' (sterility).This your case is very similar that of Lionel messi the great footballer but his own was discovered very early and treated. Go for medical check please. Never say never.

Metabolic disorder is the inability of the body to either produce or destroy any biomolecule.

His case: his body can not produce sex hormones that brings out the male characteristics.

Hormones are biomolecules.

Theoretical, the cure is to stimulate the gonads to keep producing these sex hormones.
