In Klinefelter syndrome, a boy is born with an extra X chromosome rather than the typical XY chromosomes found in men; consequently, the condition is also referred to as XXY syndrome.
There is no known cure for Klinefelter, but it is treatable, and most men with it are unaware of it until they experience difficulties when attempting to conceive.
Causes of Klinefelter syndrome
Older women have a slightly higher chance of having a boy with XXY syndrome, but the likelihood is small. Getting the extra X chromosome by accident. Either the egg or the sperm that came together to create you had an extra X chromosome.
Klinefelter’s men might have:
- Every cell has an extra X chromosome, which is the most typical.
- Mosaic Klinefelter is a condition where some cells contain an extra X chromosome but not others, and you experience fewer symptoms.
- Extremely uncommon and more severe is having multiple extra X chromosomes.

HOMOEOPATHIC TREATMENT
The only method by which a state of complete health can be regained by removing all the signs and symptoms from which the patient is suffering is through the use of homeopathy, one of the most well-known holistic systems of medicine, in which the selection of remedy is based on the theory of individualization and symptoms similarity by using a holistic approach.
Dr.Hahnemann has mentioned in Organon of Medicine Aphorism 78 – “The true natural chronic diseases are those that arise from a chronic Miasm, which when left to themselves and unchecked,always go on increasing & growing worse, & torment the patient to the end of his life with ever aggravated suffering”. Every miasm is nothing but a defence mechanism at genetic level. Destructive defence mechanism is indicating syphilitic and constructive or physiological defence mechanism is posra. The chronic miasms in the mother were responsible for hereditary disorders in the child when he was in the intra-uterine state, and these could be treated by the homeopathic remedy.
