DSD (Differences of Sex Development)

Differences of Sex Development (DSD) are medical conditions where a person’s reproductive or sexual anatomy doesn’t fit typical definitions of male or female. This can be due to variations in chromosomes, hormones, or physical features present at birth. For example, someone might have ambiguous genitalia or differences in how their reproductive organs develop. DSDs are diverse, and many individuals lead healthy, normal lives. These conditions are usually diagnosed early through medical exams and tests, and management might involve medical, surgical, or psychological support, depending on the specific situation.
