Klinefelter Syndrome (also known as 47,XXY) is a common genetic condition, affecting one in 550 men. Despite the prevalence, it’s rarely diagnosed.

Small testicles are often a sign, but other symptoms can include reduced muscle mass, reduced body and facial hair, enlarged breasts, low sex drive and low energy. Speak to your GP with any concerns.
