I have Klinefelter's Syndrome and it did cause weak bones, weaker lungs like mild asthma, it cause no testosterone so have to take shots every two weeks, also had a brain tumor that really mess me up and almost killed me, and i also had hard time learning like speech and science.
I hope things get better for you :(
You might be able to get on a different testosterone. The one I'm on I get injected in my bum / lower back every 3 months
Hope that you get better bro 🙏
How did you find out? It sounds like most people never find out that they have it.
Can't imagine your pain stay strong💪
Excellent video again!
I love this channel .
Thanks for the informative video! We found out about KS during our fertility journey. As a form of therapy via vlogging, we have begun documenting our own battle with infertility and desire to have a biological child despite the KS diagnosis. We have noticed that KS looks different in people diagnosed and not every story/description is the same.
If you don’t mind me asking, how did you proceed with trying to have a child…adoption? Microtese? Etc?
I'm sorry to hear that. I wish you can win the battle against infertility and have a beautiful kid. Much love and hope to you guys! ❤
Thank the information and this vedio is a crystal clear klinfelter syndrome
Thank you.
Thank you ❤❤for making this video❤❤ I have klinefelter's and there's so little information I'm trying to make a playlist
it is nice to be open about xxy
Lots of info out there
Check out videos by "Living with XXY", there's alot of information on that channel. I don't recommend their facebook group, as they aren't very tolerant of different opinions, and your inbox will get bombarded with abuse if you disagree.
Share that playlist I’m doing a project on this
@@AntNeal10 guys there are subliminals and RIFE for ks
I have this. For the longest time I’ve struggled with body positivity until I started working out and hitting the gym vigorously. I recommend every man who finds it hard to look at themselves in the mirror to start picking up weights and get a gym membership!
The differences in the body are related to hormones. For someone that doesn't have optimal T levels it will be extremely hard to build muscle and change the body. It's better to remediate it first.
How has it been working you?
Seems to me that since it's just a blood test to determine if the abnormality exists, it would be wise to just do a karotype test once before puberty so that as normal a development could occur to reduce future health issues. Seems like as soon as sex is involved, everyone looks the other way. Seems to me that our health systems have some questions to answer as this has been a known issue for quite some time.
I suspect my son may be affected. He is 12 next month. I am going to have him tested. It's scary, but I am glad I am aware. If he has it, I will press them to put him on T gel right away so he can have a more normal puberty.
@@sexyblackjag You are actually fucked. Stop doing this to intersex children! It's not right, it's so wrong, it's up to the child if they are going through puberty what type of puberty they want to go through. I have Klinfelter syndrome I don't mind it, I don't mind it bc I am transfem but many people who are cis don't mind it and that's fine. HRT esp masc HRT effects the entire body and is fairly permanent.
Luckily if your child is 12 months it won't matter bc T and E levels don't change until after puberty. Pre puberty sex hormonal levels are nearly identical and are almost non-existent.
Yes, doing a karyotype at puberty sounds like a good idea. But if it comes back positive for XXY, it doesn't mean the child should be pressured into testosterone therapy. The intersex community has long been harmed by non-consensual treatments done to intersex children. The decision to start TRT should be left up to the kid upon entering puberty. In addition, the child's gender should be taken into account, as some XXY people do end up as trans women, in which case estrogen therapy would be the appropriate treatment instead of testosterone therapy.
Great video:)
There are many studies on Klinefelter's syndrome but I havent seen any book or even an article with practical teaching how to live and form close relationships ( or maybe even dating ) for people with said syndrome.
We are a nonprofit helping with this. Check out our resources.
I'm sorry man, you didn't choose this
I just don’t. I have a low sex drive anyway, making relationships practically impossible.

Do you have an update?
I think i have Klinefelter too, i have most of the symptoms!
It's possible the patient have SK if the Karyotype cardiogram der 46 xy
My doctor brought this up today
I'm gonna have a thyroid blood test on thursday, I hope they check for KS too.
I've noticed quite a few of these things growing up and I'm kinda anxious about it. Thanks for the video!
u have small nuts ?
A 45 chromosome is Turner’s syndrome where girls have one X and is shorter, 47 chromeosome is Klinefelter where a boy has one extra copy of X which means they had female features and taller than boys with one copy of X
I have this smh.
RIP the homie good luck
@@fabricatorgeneralchadius1114 USE a RIFE for ks and subliminals to cureit

How did you know you had it, if you got some of the symptoms then it could be high estrogen levels and low testosterone
Usually it takes a genetic test through your blood.
I have 😢
My partner of 23 years has KS and cannot father children, is totally impotent 15 years now and at 61 I feel deteriorating mentally. Chronic ADHD, mood swings, frustration, loss of memory and general decline.
The sustanon he is injected with assists to a large degree but are there other medications he should be taking for the other symptoms?
As the primary partner I have often been lonely, isolated and worried and even grew irritated and agitated by his often negative and moody behavior and largely his social inadequacy.
The thing is that I am all he has in life and it’s left up to me to be the caregiver.
He could start to get injected with testosterone it could fix everything.
Tell your partner to use ks subliminals and the KS RIFE frequency my love 💓
@Graeme Tucker thank you so much for your information.
I am going to get some feedback from the doctor to start taking some.
It’s really difficult here in SA because doctors are not too clued up all over about KS
It’s really frustrating
@@melodydonovan7884 u think doctors don't know anything?
That tells a lot about u
Well it's not an "infection", it's a condition from a chromosome abnormality in the embryo. I suppose the first step is to stop considering it as a disease. It's quite likely that treatments such as testosterone treatments would be best done during childhood and puberty which makes it surprising that a blood karotype test isn't done at least once during childhood. Obviously possible consequences such as type 2 diabetes and heart issues can cost our health system quite a bit later in life so even with just a 1 in 600 occurrence, it would be best to address the issues early and as many cases are not diagnosed, the occurence is probably much higher. A simple childhood blood test could save society billions.
Any adviced treatment for this.
Really, asking for medical advise over the internet... The only valid advise would be to discuss it with your doctor. As it only takes a karotype blood test once in your life to find out, it may be worth it to have the test. As to treatment, other than treating the health problems that may arise as they occur, it would probably just be hormone treatments to have as normal a development as possible which of course would be most effective during childhood and puberty (though there may still be some benefits later in life).
I was diagnosed with this at 27, after trying for kids for a number of years and extensive tests. Im 67 now. Back then, there were no extra's to help, fertility wise. Apart from being a Jaffa (seedless), the on;y other big issue i have had, is teeth. From the very very young age,. massive issues and many time, pain and infections, no matter what. Happy they are mostly all gone now

OMG... I wonder if my brother has Klinefelter's syndrome. That would explain so many things.
Why?
44XY or 46XY?, which one is the correct in normal male?
44XY is right
@@volir8sh38 no 46 xy is normal
@@maxh4175 well you can understand it however you went, if you say 46XY then you mention the numbers of all the chromosomes while specializing the last pair as XY.. But if u say 44XY then you mention the number of the first 44 chromosomes then the last two as XY
so both could work i think
@@volir8sh38well in standard medical language its 46XY. Dont need to make things complicated.

You should reconsider

Honestly I don't really need testosterone blockers, and having wider hips really balanced out the broader shoulders lol

Maybe you could be a bit more polite ✨please✨
@@esraaalameri966 Ya I forgot to add 'please' .
I think a friend of might have it, but he's short. I also think he might have HSD. I don't know if any of it makes sense.
Seems to me that there is a wide variation of the symptoms so just one contradiction isn't conclusive. Given the possible future health issues and how there are treatments, it might be best to just see if a karotype blood test would be covered by insurance, it would just be one test for life.
Because Klinefelter syndrome is from having a second X like females, does having it (and low testosterone) prevent any man's voice from becoming that of a man and make him sound like a woman or child regardless of age?
Low testosterone causes this and they might not have gone thru puberty because of this.
@AngelDelight747 Good to know.
KLM ✊
Can you be XXY and have gone though male puberty as normal? I ask because I was born male, never had any muscle strength, genitals never changed from before puberty to afterwards but grew facial and body hair as normal and had moobs from the age of 8 due to being overweight.
I didn’t go through puberty till 16 I picked up the quiet personality because my voice still till this day hasn’t gotten any deeper so I speak quietly because I have been bullied about the way I am and the way I speak that I feel embarrassed to be myself around others especially my own family but since I’m on testosterone treatment I still feel a bit of sadness because I know that even though I’m 26 I can’t be my wife’s sperm donor and she understands because she’s having infertility problems too so our best option right now is to adopt a baby or toddler and go from there
@@White.KaiserThat is exactly how mine is too. My voice I mean.
Hi dear
I am 32 years old and I have been diagnosed KS unfortunately.
Now I am on T treatment but I can't say it to my wife... I know I sucks
Is there any idea 💡 how I should say it or 😢 to my wife
I love her so much so dose she.
All day and night almost I myself stacked in thinking about our lives
But no solution in my mind.
If any body can help please let me know
Any ideas or such experiences
@@zabiullahakbari3764 so sad to know about but it is what it is. I am also 21 years and i am 99% sure i have same syndrome. I have no idea on how can i tell my parents about this.
I’m confused why in google they say something different from this Vedio, they said that people that have this syndrome can have Spectrum disorder autism is that true or ? I’m confused
Anyone can have ASD, with or without Klinefelter syndrome. It might make it more likely for you to have ASD though
Yes its true and also ADHD and more easy to get a depression or worse. Im in a clinic right now, because i have klinefelter, adhd, depression for more then 10 years and more mental stuff.
So the video is not complete
I read that it's a risk factor.
Anyone can have autism.
I think my older brother has this. It's very similar to his body shape, behavior and medical cronology as well.
Besides, he is very infantile and childing at his age(2002 y) For example, one day, me and my family found out that he has loan over 1,000 dollar(US) on 300% program. He had no job tho, so he had no money to pay it all. That day the whole family including my auntie was arguing. And I said that I'm ashamed for being his sister. The he went like "You dont love me anymore? ", " I thought we were friends" the whore freaking week. "
But even if I'm mad at him, I feel pity for him, when I think that he might have health, physical, psycological or endocrinical problems.
Wow, your older brother is 2002 years old? How old are you? Have you met Jesus Christ or something?

Is it possible to have normal testosterone levels with KFS? I have 340ng/dl
No, it always manifests itself in low testosterone, hypogonadism, and micro-testis.
Unlikely. It is possible, so if you have symptoms, you should get screened
That’s low man. Not KFS low but still low
Out of all the symptoms I searched, I could see just one in me, that is wide hips,
Does that mean I have ks?
I'm almost 18, normal heightened guy(5'10"),have full grown mustache but I haven't grown a proper beard by now.
Pls someone tell I'm really concerned now about this
u need a karyotype test. that will tell u
Just cause you have 1 symptom of something doesn't mean you have it mate.
Internet is a dangerous place for people worried about themselves.
You're only 18. Many 18 year olds and even 30 year olds can't grow a proper beard.
Bro you are 5'10. Life will be easy. I am 5'8 . Just exercise and eat a healthy diet. You seem like a regular 18yo to me.
If you dont have a difficulty growing muscle, have narrow shoulders or larger fat gain around breasts or stomach, Its not likely you have it, however if symptoms progress of you continue being concerned, it is worth getting a check up or examination.
@@Yes-fn2yj Exactly brother, but I don't know what's wrong with me these days,
I even went to consult a doctor and he said I am completely fine, my hips aren't wide it's just all fat, but even after getting consulted by a doctor, my stupid brain still won't get satisfied, it always tells me to get a test
The worst part is I have an exam that will decide my university in 20days, it's super important but now I can't focus much on studies because of this stupid assumptions I made about my self, I'm so helpless😭😭😭😭

What happens if someone with kleinfelters had very low testosterone and doesn’t take hormone therapy
I think it may also cause reduced muscle mass, reduced body and facial hair, and enlarged breast tissue. Ask better a specialist
U will be tired and its harder to concentrate.Loose muscle mass,thats about it.I stoped taking shots 4 years ago and now snd then take a bt of gel for a week or two.

There is a huge difference beetween medical studies and a self experience.
To all u doctors,you might just be really wrong...

Unfortunely you'll have to get a karyotyping done
@@Tom-kh2vx idk what that is. ( I'll look it up ) thanks
Mine wouldn't either. But I'm also 46 now and think it would be pointless to treat.
@@tbok75 you have to go to a endocrinologist I just had mine done the other day. Or you can get a hold of LabCorp they can do the test with a doctors prescription.

Klinefelter syndrome can actually make you taller because you don't have enough testosterone to make your bones fuse and stop growing. You can also have a testosterone deficiency without having Klinefelter. If you're worried about it then you should get tested

Your comment describes so much about me, i thought i was just being fat
Maybe try to find a different insurance company that would cover the treatments. Granted most of us get our group insurance through our employer but maybe you could discuss that with your HR department, they might even contribute part of the costs if you strike out on your own for coverage, larger companies often give you a choice of coverages too, albeit at greater costs to you. Even coverage from government social benefits can vary, after years of going to the cheapest insulin available due to coverage, my doctor now believes I can go to more advance insulins now that I'm considered severely handicapped, that may also be why my cardiologist managed to get some medicines that costs thousands to be approved, I supposed that and trying to keep me out of the hospitals as often as I have been as that surely costs more. If you are hospitalized, you get to speak with a social worker that can help you sort things out (well one visited me at my bedside on my second hospitalization or rather fourth as there was two other hospitalizations in two different countries), trying to talk to a government social worker directly is a whole day affair where you show up at the service centre as soon as they open and get an appointment later in the day.

Instead of making an end card you could have mentioned in the beginning that people with Klinefelter Syndrome don‘t always identify as male. They are intersex after all.
nope
Are u intersexed?
Instead of speaking for the entire community of affected people, you could have realized that you don't represent anyone but yourself.
They’re not intersex this is about chromosomes not actual sex organs.
They are not intersex, surely? They are male with an extra female chromosome. They are not hermaphrodites.
