Early / precocious puberty in boys

For background ...

DS is 9, has had BO for a couple of years, some downy hair down below for 12 months. Slightly enlarged testicles.

Dr referred to Endo who did bloods. Testosterone is low, others borderline with 1 result high (can't remember which sorry and waiting clarification on that). Also did bone xray... came back as 9yrs 7mths.

So, we have to decide whether to treat for precocious puberty and I'm struggling.

Has anyone been through this treatment with boys who showed similar signs/results ? What treatment? Side effects? Is it invasive? DS seems so borderline i'm not sure it's necessary but on the flip side I don't want to bury my head in the sand and store up issues for say a years time.

Thanks
