Due in part to the lack of research and in part to the large variability of symptoms and characteristics, there is no one formula or treatment regime that is correct for every XXY. As a consequence, each individual must assume responsibility for their own health care and advocate to be treated as an individual until the appropriate formula and treatment regime is ascertained.
Finding your proper care begins with identifying the health care professionals who will work with you toward that goal. XXYs will most likely be treated by an endocrinologist, a medical specialist who treats the endocrine (hormone producing) glands.
This site promotes the use of testosterone as the most important therapy for most XXYs. However, not every XXY identifies as male, nor is testosterone a universal panacea for those that do. For those XXYs who do not identify as male and/or are troubled by the use of testosterone, please refer to our Gender/Intersex page.
