ABSTRACT
Disorders of sex development(DSD) include anomalies of sex chromosomes,gonads,reproductive ducts,and genitalia.Here,the term "intersex" is avoided because of its imprecision.The purpose of this review is to assist health care professionals in the provision of treatment,education,and support to children born with DSD and to their families.The goal of DSD treatment is to achieve the long-term physical,psychological,and sexual well-being of the patients.In the case of DSD it involves several principles.Providing medical and surgical care to deal with a complication that threatens to the patient's physical well-being;minimizing the potential for the patient and family to feel ashamed,stigmatized,or overly obsessed with genital appearance;delaying elective surgical and hormonal treatments until the patient can actively participate in decision-making;telling the truth to the family and the child and addressing psychosocial distress of the children and their parents.This approach is termed as "patient-centered".
