What does ambiguous genitalia (atypical genitalia) look like?

Ambiguous genitalia (atypical genitalia) will look different depending on the sex chromosomes affected. Ambiguous genitalia (atypical genitalia) in genetic females may have the following features:

• An enlarged clitoris that looks like a small penis.
• The urethral opening (where urine comes out) may not be in the typical place.
• The “lips” of the vagina (labia) may be fused and look like a scrotum (a pouch that normally contains the testicles).
• A lump of tissue within the labia that looks like a scrotum with testicles.

Ambiguous genitalia (atypical genitalia) in genetic males may have the following features:

• A penis doesn’t form or is very small and looks like an enlarged clitoris.
• The urethral opening (where urine comes out) may be at the base of the penis instead of the tip.
• A small, separated scrotum that looks like labia.
• Undescended testicles.
