Disorders of Sexual Development and Function
Disorders of Sexual Development and Function treatment in Bangalore
Children with DSD have chromosome mismatches, or genetic differences, between their genitals and chromosomes. A child may present with a DSD as an infant, child, or adolescent.
A DSD (Differences in Sex Development) used to be called an "intersex" condition previously. Some people who identify themselves as strongly male or female feel uncomfortable with this term because it means "between the sexes."
Types of DSDs
Mild DSDs: An underdeveloped penis is known as hypospadias instead of a tip-shaped penis. Girls with clitoromegaly have larger clitorises than average.
Significant DSDs: The genitals of a child are not clear whether they are male or female.
Causes of DSDs
-
Whether or not a genetic change is inherited from a parent.
-
Pregnant women are unknown to have been exposed to certain medications or hormones.
-
Abnormal development of the baby's ovaries or testes during pregnancy prevents them from producing enough of their hormones.
-
Cloacal exstrophy, for example, results from a developmental problem in which the bladder or lower abdomen fails to form correctly.
Treatment Procedures
-
It is essential to realise that DSDs are not the parent’s fault. A parent cannot determine which genes are passed on to their child or whether a developmental problem is causing a DSD. Getting to know your child and accepting them as they are is the best thing you can do for them.
-
