Hello doctor,

I am a 17-year-old male student, and my voice sounds like a girl. Is there a way in which I can get a deeper voice? Kindly help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

The voice can be due to delayed development of secondary sexual characteristics. I advise you to follow the below-mentioned instructions.

  1. Check for the levels of your sex hormone (testosterone) and the stage of sexual maturation.
  2. Kindly consult an endocrinologist.

I hope this information will help you.

Thank you.
