How can I find out if I have Klinefelter's syndrome?


Using wikipedia as my reference, I have diagnosed myself as having all the symptoms of klinefelter's syndrome (except for a confirmation of sterility/fertility). How do I get tested for a chromosomal disorder, and is it possible to have it done at a free clinic or at an unemployed-person discount?

I am in Portland, OR...they are usually better here than most places for medical care to poor or homeless people- if you know about Oregon, as in where to go and what to ask, It would be a great help.

Thanks in advance for your thoughtful and kind answers.

make a doctors appt. dont try to figure out what is wrong with you online many things have alot af the same symptoms.

Just because ur tall, shy, and have small balls doesn't mean u have klinefelter's. You have to have a special test where they karytype you. It's easy, they just take some blood samples and stuff. If you have more questions, feel free to ask me. I just went through it 3 months ago. Report It

The only way to know for sure is to get yourself to a genetic counselor and get karyotyped.

You can't diagnose yourself. There have to be many tests performed. You didn't state your age, but I'm thinking that you are 14-18, tall, and have not completed puberty yet.

You can consult with your doctor and advise him/her of your concerns, and if there's a problem you will be referred for further testing. Don't worry about it for now.

If you have any more questions, please feel free to email me.
