It's his stethoscope." [ citation needed] These papers originally appeared in the Some Recent Findings table, but as that list grew in length have now been shuffled down to this collapsible table. The only way to truly find out if you have Klinefelter Syndrome is to do a Karyotype test, but this can be quite expensive. An alternative would be to do a fertility test: if you are fertile, it is very unlikely that you have Klinefelter Syndrome. You could ask a doctor to test the level of testosterone in your blood. If you have normal testosterone levels, it is also unlikely that you have Klinefelter Syndrome.

The Prader Orchidometer is an instrument used to measure the volume of the testicles. It consists of a chain of 12 numbered beads of increasing size: 1ml to 25 ml. Discrepancy of testicular size with other parameters of maturation can be an important clue to various diseases. Instructions for how to claim a complimentary orchidometer are provided as part of the evaluation questionnaire upon completion of Online Learning Modules. Please note Healthy Male webinars and podcasts are not included in the complimentary orchidometer offer.

We characterised the range of diseases and other adverse health outcomes associated with early or late puberty timing in men and women in the very large UK Biobank study. Recalled puberty timing and past/current diseases were self-reported by questionnaire. We limited analyses to individuals of White ethnicity (250,037 women; 197,714 men) and to disease outcomes with at least 500 cases (~0·2% prevalence) and we applied stringent correction for multiple testing (corrected threshold P < 7.48 × 10–5). In models adjusted for socioeconomic position and adiposity/body composition variables, both in women and men separately, earlier puberty timing was associated with higher risks for angina, hypertension and T2D. Furthermore, compared to the median/average group, earlier or later puberty timing in women or men was associated with higher risks for 48 adverse outcomes, across a range of cancers, cardio-metabolic, gynaecological/obstetric, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, and neuro-cognitive categories. Notably, both early and late menarche were associated with higher risks for early natural menopause in women. Puberty timing in both men and women appears to have a profound impact on later health." Since testicular growth is typically the first physical sign of true puberty, one of the most common uses is as a confirmation that puberty is beginning in a boy with delayThe beads are compared with the testicles of the patient, and the volume is read off the bead which matches most closely in size. Prepubertal sizes are 1–3 ml, pubertal sizes are considered 4 ml and up and adult sizes are 15-25 ml. [3]

An undescended testicle. Your testicle may not have developed fully because it didn’t descend correctly in childhood. The physical characteristics that can be generally measured are: genital stage, pubic hair, axillary hair, menarche, breast, voice change and facial hair. GPs who complete an Online Learning Module through the Medcast platform will receive a complimentary orchidometer. Palpation and inspection of the testes facilitates an approximation of testicular volume by comparing it to the beads on the orchidometer.Marshall WA & Tanner JM. (1969). Variations in pattern of pubertal changes in girls. Arch. Dis. Child. , 44, 291-303. PMID: 5785179 An orchidometer (or orchiometer) is a medical instrument used to measure the volume of the testicles. The testes are primarily responsible for the production of testosterone and spermatozoa, with most of their volume being germ cells and seminiferous tubules. Studies in males with infertility have shown that testicular volume measured either by ultrasonography or an orchidometer (low cost tool) correlates with testosterone levels and optimal seminal fluid parameters.

The role of puberty in the developing adolescent brain [3] "There is an increasing number of neuroimaging studies looking at the development of the brain, both structurally and functionally, during adolescence. Almost all of these studies have defined development by chronological age, which shows a strong-but not unitary-correlation with pubertal stage. Very few neuroimaging studies have associated brain development with pubertal stage, and yet there is tentative evidence to suggest that puberty might play an important role in some aspects of brain and cognitive development. In this paper we describe this research, and we suggest that, in the future, developmental neuroimaging studies of adolescence should consider the role of puberty." Researchers suggest that higher levels of testosterone, which is associated with larger testicles, may help steer some men toward behaviors other than the hands-on care of their children.Please note that this is not medical advice and only a doctor can tell you if you have Klinefelter Syndrome. You can request a Karyotype to get a definitive answer to your question.
