Klinefelter Syndrome
Alternate Names : 47 X-X-Y Syndrome
Klinefelter Syndrome Treatment
There is no treatment for the infertility associated with this syndrome. Testosterone therapy will improve the development of secondary sexual characteristics. Testosterone treatment usually starts at the beginning of puberty. Once this treatment begins, it needs to be continued for life. The testicular changes that lead to infertility are not preventable.
Enlarged breast tissue (Gynecomastia) can be treated with plastic surgery if it is disfiguring.
Counseling may benefit people with emotional difficulties due to sexual dysfunction and to reinforce male identity.
