Do I have Klinefelter Syndrome?
Posted , 4 users are following.
I know internet diagnosis is no reliable but I'll give it a shot. So I was reading about Klinefelter because i had biology research about it. I read all of the symptoms and i relate to most of them. I am taller than all of my family, at 5'8 (I'm still 15) I'm taller than my father, mother, brother, and sister. My fat accumulates in femminine areas like my breast and hips and my torso is pretty short. I am niot fat at all, 60 kgs, but i have really big hips and breasts. I am shy and socially awkward but have a pretty social life; most of my close friends are girls though. I do have some muscle but it is because i try to workout as much as i can but i feel like muscle developement is slower than my mates. Now some of the things that don't apply is pubes and facial hair which are normal i have alot of pubes and some body hair and facial hair. My penis isn't small or maybe it is at 6 inches but i read that people with the syndrome are usually below 4 inches. I can be slow especially with math but I am acadamatically fine i get my A's and have a 3.7 gpa. So can anyone help me and tell me if i am worrying over nothing or should i be concerned if i do have Klinefelter Syndrome. I live in Egypt and i don't think there are any doctors here i could test with to see if i have it. Thank you in advance .

Go see a Dr if you can, an endocrinologist is the best choice. Some of the things you describe could be, and just because you are growing pubic hair dosnt mean you don't have klinefelter's. You could be a mosaic.

Other classifications could be xy/xxy, this is a mosiac form, 47 xxy, 47xyy, 49xxyy. From your description you may have xyy. But only a blood test can determine that fact
Another test would be a testicle biopsy. But this may be painful.
If you have 47 chromosomes then you may have low testosterone.
As a teenager, I had pubic hair, but limited facial and body hair. My testosterone levels is 34 without testosterone injections. Normal is over 200. After hormones, my hormone levels is. Little over 300, a week later. I get injections every 3 weeks.
Currently, there are pellets, gels and injections. My insurance only allows injections.
So in order for you to know if you have 47 chromosomes is to get the karotype blood test from a regular doctor or an endocrinologist, a hormone doctor
Good luck.

I do not think you have it, from what you said. You have a penis you have some facial hair, you have muscles. I think this says it all. I do not think you have the issue you are querying.
