In respect of advice, the vet would be best placed for medical information.
However, aggressive behaviour often stems from fear. By acting aggressively, your dog might be trying to make other dogs back off from him because he doesn’t like them too close. And neutering removes his ‘brave’ testosterone so title is possible that he might become more fearful and therefore more aggressive.
There is an implant called Suprelorin that suppresses hormones and mimics the effect of neutering, but temporarily. It might be worth considering, to see how his behaviour changes, before you do something irreversible.
