Ideas in this flowchart

  • Variations in physical sexual development
  • Hermaphroditism is one reported variation and occurs in two forms.
  • True hermaphroditism is an extremely rare condition involving both male and female reproductive organs in one body.
  • The organs may include the penis, testicles, prostate gland, vagina, uterus, and ovaries, functioning to some degree.
  • Pseudohermaphroditism, or false or near hermaphroditism, is a rare condition involving some male or female reproductive organs in one body.
  • Neither male nor female organs are completely present and/or fully functioning.
  • Fetal sexual development does not occur uniformly.
  • Five common sexual development variations are reported among newborns.
  • Turner’s syndrome
  • Klinefelter’s syndrome
  • Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome
  • Fetally Androgenized Females
  • DHT-deficient Males
  • In most fetal development, sexual development is predictable and originates from nearly identical tissues.

"There are some variations when actual physical sexual development does not follow expected patterns. Hermaphroditism is found among those variations and is reported in two forms. First, true hermaphroditism is an extremely rare condition wherein both reproductive organs of males and females are in one person’s body and functioning to some degree or another. This includes the penis, testicles, prostate gland, vagina, uterus, and ovaries. Second, pseudohermaphroditism, or false or near hermaphroditism, is a rare condition wherein some of both reproductive organs for males or females are present in one person’s body, but neither male nor female organs are completely present and/or fully functioning. Not all fetal sexual development occurs uniformly. Five common sexual development variations reported among newborns are Turner’s syndrome, Klinefelter’s syndrome, Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome, Fetally Androgenized Females, and DHT-deficient Males. In most cases of fetal development, sexual development is predictable and follows the pattern of originating from nearly identical tissues."
