As an adult, how can I cope with androgen insensitivity syndrome?

AIS presents many challenges for adults. You may struggle to have a normal sex life or find a partner who understands and accepts your condition. Infertility can also have a profound emotional effect on many people.

Some older children or adults may develop gender dysphoria. This is distress or dissatisfaction with their gender identity assigned at birth. They may choose to transition from one gender to another. This change is a complex physical and emotional process.

If you have AIS, it may help to talk with a counselor or therapist about your experiences. Support groups can help you connect with others who have AIS.
