Reifenstein Syndrome

Reifenstein syndrome is a form of partial androgen insensitivity, a genetic condition in which the body responds incompletely to male hormones during development.

Manifestations: It may be associated with atypical sexual development of the genitals and changes during puberty, with a degree of involvement that varies greatly from one person to another.

Origin: It has a hereditary basis and is related to the way cells recognize and use male hormones.

Who evaluates it? The endocrinologist is the professional who assesses hormonal functioning and guides follow-up, while the support of the psychologist can be valuable for the emotional well-being of the person and their family. If there are doubts about hormonal or sexual development, a specialized consultation offers clear information and appropriate support.
