intersex healthcare

Intersex healthcare refers to the medical care and support provided to individuals born with variations in sex characteristics that don't fit typical definitions of male or female bodies. It involves respectful, patient-centered approaches that prioritize informed consent and personal choice. Healthcare providers should avoid unnecessary surgeries or treatments in infancy, focusing instead on the individual's needs as they grow. Intersex people may require support for physical health, mental well-being, and social issues. Comprehensive care emphasizes collaboration with intersex individuals to ensure their rights, identity, and preferences are respected in all healthcare decisions.
