  1. Klinefelter's is a rare condition. (1 in about 1,000 births)  (also called XXY syndrome)  Before you believe you have this condition see your  doctor for a definite diagnosis.  Klinefelter's syndrome is a condition that occurs in men who have an extra X chromosome in most of their cells.  The fact that you can pose the question and in a very literate manner suggests that if you have the condition is it a very mild form of it.  In more severe cases mental retardation is evident.  The syndrome can affect different stages of physical, language and social development. The most common symptom is infertility.  Because they often don't make as much of the male hormone testosterone as other boys, teenagers with Klinefelter's syndrome may have less facial and body hair and may be less muscular than other boys. Their genitals may be noticeably smaller than what is considered normal.  These symptoms may be corrected to some extent using testosterone therapy.  They may have trouble using language to express themselves. They may be shy and have trouble fitting in.

        IF you have this condition:

    IT IS IMPORTANT TO START TREATMENT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.  With proper treatment, most boys grow up to have normal s*x lives, successful careers and normal social relationships. Check with your doctor first if you are still really concerned you may have this condition.  I wish you the best of luck.
