I'm not sure if anyone will know the answer to this question or not. My son is almost 17 years old now. I saw him nekked yesterday and he does not appear to be developing normally. I have never been a male, my brothers didn't share and my husband cannot remember so I'm here to ask the experts. What is normal male development?
When I saw him yesterday, his little man has not grown at all, or very little, since he was a very small child yet, his testes have enlarged. I don't see pubic hair, I don't see underarm hair, and I don't see facial hair. He does sweat some however, cause I can smell him, he doesn't bath often enough but that's a different battle. His voice doesn't appear to have changed much he can still whine in a very high pitch. Finally, he is starting to have pimples.
He is on an awful lot of medications and at fairly high doses and has been for quite some time. Six hundred milligrams of Seroquel, 900 mg of Lithium and 37.5mg of Effexor. Could these be delaying puberty? Or is he developing as he should? What's normal other than a setting on the dryer?
I appreciate all your responses.
