Male pseudohermaphroditism

Pseudohermaphroditism is the heterogeneity of genetic sex, gonad sex, and phenotypic sex, that is, the sex of the gonad is consistent with the genetic sex, while the development of the genital duct and urogenital sinus has a heterosexual component or both sexes. Based on genetic sex and gonad sex, pseudohermaphroditism can be further divided into female pseudohermaphroditism and male pseudohermaphroditism. The basic feature of male and female bisexual malformations is that the karyotype is 46, XY. If the gonads can be found, it must be the testis, but the genitals are masculine, ambiguous, or completely feminine. Because the process of normal virilization in the fetus is very complicated, there are many types of male pseudohermaphroditism.
