You need to consult an endocrinologist and he will prescribe the testosterone injection IF required. However, the cause of your stunted growth is a secondary iron overload from the monthly blood transfusion. You need to fix that by consulting a hematologist and taking medicines for your excess iron and have it under control. Feel free to discuss any other issues related to your condition over an? online consult and I will be happy to help.
