Delayed Puberty
Brandon, 27, says he’s never gone through puberty and despite being 6 foot 3 inches tall, feels he has the appearance of a 12-year-old boy.
“It affects everything I do, from the moment I wake up until I go to bed. I have no sex drive at all. I like women, but I have no drive to pursue them.”
Brandon’s lack of body hair and insignificant genital growth, as well as frequent fatigue lead him to believe he suffers from Kallmann’s Syndrome, a condition characterized by delayed or absent puberty and an impaired sense of smell. Unable to receive medical insurance, Brandon has not seen a doctor about his problem until today.
