That's the syndrome where, even though I'm male, I have 2 X chromosomes instead of just one.
I'm beyond 18 already. I've started to suspect that I may have Klinefelter's syndrome. I'm tall (slightly over 6 feet), but my parents were also tall (5'8-5'9 for one, 5'11-6 for the other).
I don't have much facial or body hair but I think my ethnicity (Asian) isn't known to have an abundance of facial or body hair. I've been told that I'm baby-faced.
I also have the beginnings of what looks like breasts. However, I'm also about 20 pounds overweight. I don't know if my fat distribution is feminine. I have an embarrassing belly.
I don't have broad shoulders, I don't work out. My shoulders are broader than my hips and waist. Also, even though I'm tall, I'm not particularly strong. I can lift and move things but I can't throw a football as far as my friend who's shorter than I am.
I think I'm above average intelligence but sometimes I get stuck in speech and tend to ramble on.
My penis is at average or below average (~5).
I've had 2 blood tests and they both came back with somewhat low testosterone levels (300-400 ng/dl).
The one saving grace is that I don't have small testes. I measured using an orchidometer, and I've read that people with Klinefelter's syndrome usually have testes around 3ml. A scientific study found that the biggest testicle a Klinefelter's patient had was about 9ml. When I measured mine (I could've measured wrong), there was no way either testicle was around 10ml. They looked bigger than 25ml.
I also have a surprisingly strong libido. I like girls and seem to be always interested in them.
I've tried to get a karyotype but my doctor said my insurance won't cover it. Should I pay out of pocket for a karyotype? How much would it cost?
