How can you tell if you have Klinefelter's Syndrome?

Answer 1

Klinefelter syndrome is most often diagnosed in adulthood using a karyotype, an analysis of the patient's chromosomes taken from a blood sample. Klinefelter syndrome may also be diagnosed during a woman's pregnancy. Doctors can look for the chromosome abnormality in cells taken from the amniotic fluid that surrounds the fetus (amniocentesis), or from the placenta (chorionic villus sampling (CVS)).

Answer 2

• Abnormal body proportions (long legs, short trunk, shoulder equal to hip size)
• Enlarged breasts (gynecomastia)
• Sexual problems
• Less than normal amount of pubic, armpit, and facial hair
• Small, firm testicles
• Small penis
• Tall height

There you go^^

Answer 3

The only way to be 100% sure if you have Klinefelter's syndrome is to get a genetic analysis done, but short of that you can compare yourself to the symptoms of a person with Klinefelter's to determine if you match that description. If you do match that description, then I would urge you contact your doctor to get a proper diagnosis.
