Body mimics symtoms of KS

[gtg]

Hi all,

I am a male,21 and suffering from gynocomastia since puberty.I have body fat distribution like female.As you can see in the photo,i have hourglass shape body :(After reading about Klinefelter syndrome,i thought i might be effected with it.So,i went for blood hormone test.The test showed i have low testoterone for my age but,lh,fsh and estradiol are normal.Then i went for blood karyotype,it showed me that i am normal XY male.Now my question is,why i have this disfigured body.I lost and gain a lot of weight during my life through starvation and, by eating clean and exercising.Now,i am 73 kg,5'10'' inch which is quite acceptable weight for my height.I don't mind the breasts but the wide waist is killing me.How can i lose it.How bad is my gyno.I am sorry for my bad english. Undecided

Here is my latest blood test report


Total testosterone-235.6ng/dl (241-827)

Free testosterone-9.3pg/ml (5.5-42)

LH-4.15mlU/ml (1.5-9.3)

OR

Just lose weight naturally ... Youve got a belly & lovehandles ... WOW? who cares, loads of guys are like that. Nothing the gym can't fix.

[Dr. Elliot Jacobs]

You do not have a female type body.  Rather you have collected excess fat in the typical male distribution -- on the chest, abdomen and love handles.  Losing weight will help -- it is a good first step.  But do not be surprised if you only see some little changes in those troublesome areas.  Unfortunately, your body doesn't listen to your mind and target just the areas you wish to lose.  The weight gained in those troublesome areas is often the last to be lost.

Surgery for gyne and lipo of the abdomen and hip rolls can be of help (I call this combined procedure a Torsoplasty) but it is best done when you are at your best and most comfortable weight.  You can read about Torsoplasty and see some examples (in the photo gallery) on my website, www.gynecomastiasurgery.com

Best of luck!

I agree with what has previously been said.

I see no sign of KS at all, nor do I see any hint of female fat distribution.

You look quite normal though a bit overweight. (In my family, Gynecomastia is Normal too.)

I agree with comments about your Male Body Fat Distribution. 

Klinefelter's Syndrome involves much more and can come in many different body shapes.

Weight Loss Before Gynecomastia Surgery can make a major impact on the fat.  Additionally, patients tell me that they just feel better getting that extra weight off of their bodies!

No Surgery Body Shaping Garments are a temporizing contouring solution why losing weight that many patients have told me helped emotionally why they were working on their global fat issues.

Hope this helps,

You don't look bad at all, and I personally am always against plastic surgery except in the case of gyne, if you can run it out, do it.  A great way to lose weight in that area is use ALOT of jump rope.  it kills your abs if you do enough plus its great cardio.  Also if you don't want the love handles or the tummy start doing crunches and side crunches. Lay on your side and try to raise your upper body off the ground using only your ab muscles.  Plus pack on some muscle in every area.  Your body works harder to maintain the muscle and you'll likely lose weight just by having muscle.
