4. Sterility
It’s a very common symptom for people who are born with Prader-Willi syndrome to be entirely sterile from birth in the case of both men and female cases.
This isn’t something that should just be taken at face value as an automatically associated symptom if someone you know has been diagnosed with PWS, but a doctor might still want to do tests to establish, among other factors, the sterility factor in individual cases.
After the initial diagnosis of PWS, it’s likely that the doctor might want to order further tests in order to establish if there are any of the associated symptoms or conditions of PWS involved. The majority of these tests are simple and not invasive at all – and the results at the end of the test can only be a good thing for the rest of your health that helps to manage the condition easier from then on.
