Background: Patients with 5-α-reductase type 2 deficiency (5αRD2) require androgen treatment for the growth of normal male external genitalia. Since limited research has been conducted on the effects of androgen treatment on height in individuals with 5αRD2, we investigated the effect of androgen treatment on bone age (BA) and the height status in children with 5αRD2. Methods: Of the 19 participants who were followed up for an average of 10.6 years, 12 received androgen treatment. BA and height standard deviation scores (SDS) were compared between the treatment and non-treatment groups, as well as between the dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and testosterone enanthate (TE) treatment groups. Results: Despite the above-average height of the 19 patients with 5αRD2, the height SDS relative to BA (htSDS-BA) was below average, particularly in the androgen treatment group. DHT treatment did not lead to an increase in BA or htSDS-BA, whereas TE treatment resulted in BA advancement and decreased htSDS-BA, especially in the prepubertal period. Conclusions: DHT treatment is more favorable for height than TE treatment in patients with 5αRD2, particularly during the prepubertal period. Therefore, age and the type of androgen used should be carefully considered to minimize the risk of height reduction in these patient groups.
