DSD (Disorders of Sex Development)

Disorders 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 involve variations in chromosomes, hormones, or physical characteristics, leading to differences in genitalia or internal organs. DSDs are diverse, and individuals may have unique experiences; some may discover their condition later in life. Medical management aims to support health and well-being, respecting individual identities. Understanding and awareness promote acceptance and reduce stigma associated with these natural variations in human development.
