10 Symptoms of Klinefelter Syndrome

Symptom #8: Unusually Large Breasts
It is nearly always women that have breasts. They develop in preparation for when the woman might get pregnant, so she can create milk to then feed to her baby. With this in mind, it is not normal for men to develop breasts as well, although it can happen in some cases.
It is not uncommon for men to develop what is often known as “manboobs.” Rather than being actual breasts, though, these tend to be accumulations of fat in overweight men. Men with Klinefelter syndrome, however, can develop breasts regardless of their weight. Hormone therapy can help to overcome the problem.
