Conventional nonsurgical therapy methods
For individuals who wish to have children, the following forms of artificial insemination can be performed, depending on the severity of Klinefelter syndrome:
- In case of oligospermia – in vitro fertilization (IVF), if necessary, spermatids extracted from testicular biopsy (TESE; testicular sperm extraction, which means that a tissue sample is taken directly from the testicles) → intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).
Regular check-ups
- Regular check-ups are required during testosterone replacement therapy (TRT).
Nutritional medicine
- Nutritional counseling based on nutritional analysis
- Nutritional recommendations according to a mixed diet taking into account gender and age.
- Observance of the following special nutritional recommendations:
- Calcium-rich (1,000 mg calcium / day) diet: fish, fresh vegetables, dairy and whole grains and nuts are beneficial for bone formation.
- Vitamin D-rich diet (supplementation with 800-1,000 IU of vitamin D3 required, as no adequate intake of vitamin D from food is possible!).
- Avoidance of phosphate-containing drinking and nutrients (eg cola drinks, various sausages and meat products).
- Note that for optimal bone metabolism must be fed less acid-forming foods and instead more base-donating foods.
- Selection of appropriate foods based on the nutritional analysis
- See also under “Therapy with micronutrients (vital substances)” – Taking a suitable dietary supplement.
