10 Symptoms of Klinefelter Syndrome

Symptom #7: Late Puberty
At some point during our teenage years, we will undergo puberty. This is a process that signals the transition between being children and being adults. Girls will begin to develop breasts, boys will find that their testicles lower and their voices will deepen, and both groups will begin growing pubic hair.
This can happen at different times for different children, and those with Klinefelter syndrome are likely to start developing later than others. This can be difficult for boys as their classmates are growing and maturing ahead of them. In some cases, puberty may never come for them at all, or the process might not quite finish.
