Klinefelters?
by Eric101, Mar 22, 2008 01:01PM
I am a 16 year old male, and I am worrying I may be uffering from Klinefelter's syndrome. I fit some of the symptoms (mild Gynecomastia, small penis, and others), but I also do not fit ome others (learning impairment, social awkwardness). However, I am mildly colourblind, and I was wondering if it is possible that I have klinefelters even though that would mean I would have an extra chromosome and would greatly reduce my chances of being colourblind (it was my father who was colourblind)
I am not aware of colorblindness being related to KS. but, i guess anything is possible.
I suggest you to bring up your concerns to your doctor at your next check-up. But, don't worry yourself too much. If you are able to function daily like a normal teenager, it's probably not KS.
Feel free to ask me any other questions you may have.
Best regards,
Stephanie
