XY gonadal dysgenesis

XY gonadal dysgenesis is a condition where an individual has two X chromosomes and one Y chromosome (XY) but their gonads, which are the organs responsible for producing sex hormones and gametes (eggs or sperm), do not develop properly. This typically leads to an underdeveloped or absent sexual development. Individuals may have female physical traits but may lack typical female reproductive structures. Often, they have short stature and may face other health issues. The condition is often diagnosed during puberty when sexual development does not progress as expected. Care involves hormonal treatments and support for associated health concerns.
