Hi this is my 1st time posting
ok ive read about the klinefelter
syndrome(47xxy male) and im really worried
that I have it :cry:
this has been really disturbing me lately
and im depressed over it.
I think I have it because I seem to mach
the sympoms:
im 18 years old 5"8 and I dont think I
have had a growth spurt,
i sill have no facial hair
i dont have that much interest in sex
my testicles are only 2cm
i have verry verry lttle semen
i look really young 13-14
i want to go to a doctor but I cant afford
it without my parents, its very hard for
me to tell them as we never talk about sex
matters
my biggest worry is that I maybe
infertile.
Please tell me what to do and if you think
I have klinefelter's syndrome

Dictator,
this can be a touchy issue for some. I
urge you to bring this up with your
parents who may/may not have insurance to
cover you. Remember even though it may
have been some time since your parent(s)
have seen you naked, they have been all
too familiar with your body throughout the
growing years and know the shape and size
of all your body parts. They may have
waited for the day that you brought this
up to them and feel great relief to
finally have this adressed.
Perhaps you could just ask them to make an
appointment for you stating that you'd
like your gp to help you with a personal
problem. The exact issue won't have to be
brought up unless they push. You really
do have a right to privacy on this one and
most doctors are trained to run
interference.
This is't a true emergency. It may take
many months of testing. You may be
pleasantly surprised that this issue can
be resolved with relative ease, but it
will require professional help. Good
luck.
Klem
