Hi,

You need to consult an endocrinologist and get his Testosterone, FSH LH tested. After that, if no testosterone produced by his testis he needs to take testosterone injection regularly.

Should not be stopped. But only under an endocrinologist or andrologists supervision.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
