Patient's question:
My child was born with testicles but no penis, and also no female reproductive organs. I took them to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said it was pediatric intersex. I'm very worried about my only child because they cry frequently. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Intersex is a general term and requires a thorough examination to clarify the specific developmental condition, evaluate treatment options, and assess outcomes. Primarily, a comprehensive physical examination should be conducted to assess development, check hormone levels, perform karyotype analysis of chromosomes, and more. Based on symptoms and other findings, surgical removal of malformed organs and endocrine hormone drugs for maintenance treatment should be chosen. Regular follow-up visits are necessary to monitor and manage complications. It is recommended that you visit a professional hospital for examination.
