This. This is just one anecdote of course but: we were concerned about this for a few years and, not to be weird, but the situation rapidly resolved once puberty hit. We have zero concern now and he’s still early to mid stage puberty.

same. but I like PP’s approach of just talking about puberty in general

Not the same thing but a college friend took growth hormone in childhood because he was unusually small in height for his age. As an adult he ended up being 5’ 6” but for some reason — we assumed it was the hormones — he was hung like a horse.

12, not pubescent. But pediatrician gave another referral to endocrinologist

I think start by going to the endocrinologist.

How old is your son? That will affect how to handle things.
