Response Blog

Recently I read a post from a blogger named Eagles121395 about a disease called Klinefelter Syndrome. This particular disease makes males infertile. Klinefelter Syndrome is caused by an extra sex chromosome. Some of the severe symptoms are pulmonary diseases, germ cell tumors, breast cancer, varicose veins, osteoporosis, diabetes, and arthritis. Sadly, 40% of men die from Klinefelter Syndrome. Luckily, there is Testosterone treatment for those with the disease who want to look more manly. After reading this post I was very sad. Mostly because a lot of the men who have increased breast tissue from this disease have severe depression. Also, because they are infertile so they cannot have children of their own.
