What can I expect if my child has ambiguous genitalia (atypical genitalia)?
Ambiguous genitalia (atypical genitalia) can have profound physical, social and psychological effects on your child. Your child’s genitals can shape the way they understand their gender. The decision to seek surgery can affect your child’s quality of life, which is why it’s a good idea to speak to a counselor who specializes in this area. While a diagnosis of ambiguous genitalia (atypical genitalia) can be distressing, your team of healthcare providers can help you determine the best possible course of treatment.
