Klinefelter Syndrome, also known as XXY, is a genetic disorder affecting males from birth. It is a condition that is not life-threatening, but can have major quality of life implications throughout all stages of development from early childhood to adolescence to manhood. Often men are undiagnosed until mature adults, usually due to the inability to start a family and infertility tests identifying the condition. Such a late in life diagnosis often results in affected men feeling cheated, resentful, short-changed, cynical, embittered and angry because their childhood and adolescent years have generally been a struggle both academically, physically and emotionally. Their feelings of being hard done-by are often enhanced when the treatment, the bio-identical hormone testosterone, is so simple and readily available.
