People with hermaphroditism are born with genitals of both sexes, while people with pseudohermaphroditism have the genitals of one sex. A priority in the early care of a child with pseudohermaphroditism is accurately determining the gender as soon after birth as possible. A specialist in treating hormonal problems in infants, such as an endocrinologist, should test and evaluate the child to make the correct identification of sex. Once the sex is identified, hormones may be used to treat the child. Reconstructive surgery can also be performed.A congenital abnormality in which the external genitalia of a male or a female resemble those of the opposite sex; for example, a woman would have enlarged labia and clitoris, resembling a scrotum and penis respectively.A condition in which an individual has both male and female external genitalia but the internal reproductive organs of only one gender.Congenital anomaly where the external genitalia take on the appearance of the opposite sex, while having normal ovarian or testicular tissue. In cases of female pseudohermaphroditism, there might be an enlarged clitoris resembling a penis, along with enlarged labia resembling a scrotum. In male instances, there could be a notably small penis resembling a clitoris, accompanied by a split scrotum resembling labia.A condition where secondary sexual characteristics, physical appearance, and often emotional characteristics predominantly align with one gender, even though the essential reproductive organs are of the opposite sex."}
