intersex health care

Intersex healthcare involves medical support for individuals born with natural physical variations in sex characteristics, such as chromosomes, gonads, or genitalia, that don’t fit typical definitions of male or female. It aims to respect personal identity and well-being, providing informed, patient-centered care. This may include no treatment, hormone management, or surgeries—always with consent and an understanding of individual needs. The goal is to promote health, reduce complications, and support psychological and social well-being, ensuring intersex people receive respectful, appropriate, and personalized medical care throughout their lives.
