But a recent study from Pakistan suggests one method actually works hormone injections.

A 34-year-old man went to an endocrine (hormonal) clinic complaining of a lack of facial and pubic hair.

Further examination found his pituitary gland responsible for secreting hormones into the body was functioning as normal but he had a lack of testosterone in his body.

Testosterone is the male sex hormone and plays a key role in the development of the testicles and secondary sexual characteristics like body hair.

The patients lack of testosterone caused his lack of facial and pubic hair as well as decreased early morning erections and delayed ejaculation, doctors noted.

His penis measured just five centimetres long, according to the case study published in the BMJ.

The patient was prescribed testosterone injections and after nine months his penis length grewto the average size of a man his age around 7-10 centimetres.

The mans testosterone levels remained at a normal level after he finished the course of treatment and he was advised to stop the injections.

The patient presented to the clinic with a condition known ashypogonadism a condition where the male body does not produce enough testosterone.

Men suffering hypogonadism may also have an impaired ability to produce sperm, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Patients may be born with the condition but in some cases it can develop later in life.

Symptoms of the condition depend on when hypogonadism developed.

If the body doesnt produce enough testosterone during foetal development then a man may have impaired growth of his penis and testicles.

A child who is genetically male but has the condition may be born with; female genitals, ambiguous genitals or underdeveloped male genitals.

If the conditions strikes during puberty it can cause; decreased muscle mass, lack of body hair, lack of a deep voice, smaller penis and testes and development of breast tissue.

If it strikes during adulthood it can cause erectile dysfunction, infertility, decreases in beard and body hair growth and the development of breast tissue.

Hypogonadism can be caused by a problem with the testicles, which produces testosterone, or a problem with the pituitary gland, which signals to the testes to produce testosterone.

Treatment usually involves hormone replacement to make up for the lack of testosterone.

This can come in injections, patches, gums, gels and nasal sprays.

But the treatment isnt without risks.

It can contribute to sleep apnea, stimulated growth of the prostate, enlarged breasts, limited sperm production, blood clots and heart attack.
