What is pseudohermaphroditism?

Patient's question:

I heard from a colleague that her neighbor's house had a child with strange features, exhibiting both male and female characteristics. The doctor said the child has male pseudohermaphroditism. I want to know why male pseudohermaphroditism occurs, and whether this child will be considered male or female in the future. What is male pseudohermaphroditism?

Doctor's answer:

A male pseudohermaphrodite refers to a male who has features of both sets of reproductive organs. This may be due to abnormal development during embryonic development, leading to genital malformation. There is no specific treatment for this disease. Drug treatment is poor. Well, when the baby is older, you can choose surgical correction to remove the bisexuality, such as the reproductive tract inclined to the male. Wishing your baby a speedy recovery.
