Surgery for intersex conditions

Surgery for intersex conditions involves medical procedures to modify a person's genitalia or reproductive organs, typically to align physical characteristics with assigned gender. These surgeries are often performed in infancy, childhood, or later in life, and aim to improve function, appearance, or reduce health issues. While some advocate for delaying such procedures until individuals can consent, others support early intervention for specific cases. Decisions are personalized, involving healthcare teams, patients, and families, with ongoing discussions about ethics, consent, and long-term well-being. The goal is to respect individual autonomy and ensure physical and psychological health.
