Incomplete Male Pseudohermaphroditism

Incomplete male pseudohermaphroditism is an older term that was used to describe a disorder of sexual development in which a person with male chromosomes has genitals that did not fully form in the expected way.

Common causes: it is related to alterations in the formation or the action of male hormones during development, which influences how the organs differentiate.

When is it identified? It is usually detected at birth or during puberty, when physical characteristics that require study and support are observed.

Which specialists treat it? Its approach is multidisciplinary: the urologist, the gynecologist, and the plastic surgeon may participate in the physical aspects, as well as the psychologist in the emotional support of the person and their family. In these situations, the most appropriate option is a team of professionals who evaluate each case carefully and individually.
