Klinefelter's Syndrome is a collection of symptoms which presents differently in the individual male with this condition. So different are these individuals that the treatments vary, so that what may be very comfortable for one patient is a source of discomfort for another. This was highlighted in a recent research program that was carried out with some 54 members of the KSA. who were over the age of 18. With more choice now offered by the Pharmaceutical Companies who manufacture some 8 or 9 testosterone replacement therapies, our members should be able to find a delivery method that suits them. Unfortunately, the medical profession is not always very forthcoming in offering alternative methods and it is helpful if the patient is kept informed by the Association of the available products. After all, the correct choice can determine the quality of life and therefore one can request trying an alternative treatment if the present one is proving unsuitable.

The following analysis was taken from our recent research questionnaire.
