I need to know what type of doctor specializes in hormone therapy.
I thought it was an Endocrinologist but I’m being told that they deal with metabolic issues such as diabetes.

Specifically, what type of doctor would test/treat someone for testosterone deficiency or start HGH supplementation?

My sixteenth birthday is tomorrow and I have a complete lack of body hair and I’ve grown about 2 inches since ninth grade. I also show other problems that have to do with testosterone deficiency, so I’m wondering what I should do. Should I start out going to my normal doctor, or go to the endocrinologist? Has anyone else had problems like this? I’m a little nervous.

I know that depression is often a symptom of low testosterone/hypogonadism, but does it ever happen the other way around?
