Question : Hey I’m 15, turning 16 in less than one month. I was wondering if it was possible to have your lower body be more developed than your upper body. I would say I’m in the middle of XXXXXXX Stage 4 in the bottom half of my body, but maybe like 3 in my upper body. I have little armpit hair, and it does look boyish and small compared to my lower body. Is this normal? Will my upper body catch up to the lower half eventually?

If there is any physical evidence your doctor may continue with blood tests and hormonal
