Symptom #6: Under Developed Sex Organs
Babies with the syndrome are likely to have smaller than usual genitals, and the symptom will continue when they reach adulthood. The patient’s sex organs will produce very few or no sex hormones. Puberty will often be delayed and/or incomplete, while the vast majority of patients will also remain infertile.
Men may find that their voices don’t become as deep as those of other men while they might also experience little to no facial hair growth. Some of the women may not start menstruation until around 30 years old, while others may never menstruate at all. Underdeveloped sex organs is known technically as hypogonadism.
