My son is 15 years old but still couldn't achieve his height as compared to other children, fathers height is 168 CMs and mothers 156 CMs and my son is 159 CMs now, we met with an endocrinologist and he got all relevant test done and came up with a conclusion to administer him hormone growth injections on daily basis for one year and said it might work and help him to grow 5 CMs extra than his normal height he could achieve, should I follow his advice and start putting him under such medication? Also he has a problem of severe bent penis tilted down which I understand needs to be fixed to live happy sex life. What is your opinion? would he be able to fix it permanently and if so then how?

If I were you I would not meddle with the boy's growth. He is just fifteen and still has many years to grow tall. Though the average at one ceases to grow up is about 8 years, there are late maturers who take a year or so longer. I would not subject him to avoidable medication for the same of a few centimeters, provided the benefits outweigh the side effects and the impact on the child's psyche. I suggest that let nature take its own course in this matter, unless a clear-cut growth hormone deficiency is demonstrated. I also encourage you to take opinion of another endocrinologist. As to the the severe curvature in the penis, a urologist will help your son better and will correct it surgically, if warranted.
