Intersex
Intersex describes variations in sexual development in which physical characteristics —such as chromosomes, gonads, or genitals— do not fully fit the typical definitions of male or female. It is not a disease, but a variation of human bodily diversity.
How it is approached: it can be identified at different stages of life, and care is individualized, respectful, and centered on each person's well-being.
Comprehensive support: in addition to medical follow-up, psychological support helps the person and their family understand and live with this condition with peace of mind.
Which professionals take part? The general practitioner can guide the first visit, while the gynecologist, urologist, sexologist, and psychologist step in according to the needs of each case. Seeking informed, prejudice-free support is the most advisable path.
