On the clinical picture of giantism
When growing a giant usually breaks the proportion between the size of the skull and the length of the body, mainly the length of the lower limbs, which are growing faster than the upper; rarer type of giant, which has a sharp lengthening of the upper limbs compared to the torso. Colossal physical strength, which is attributed to the giants of folk legends, in fact, giants are usually absent: most of it is physically weak people, unenergetic and adventurous, with mediocre mental abilities. They have lower libido, often impotence, and are childless in their married life. Gigantism is more common in men than in women, and usually occurs during puberty.
