Pediatric Gender Ambiguity

Pediatric Gender Ambiguity

At City Care Hospital, our Pediatric Gender Ambiguity Clinics are dedicated to providing specialized care for children with ambiguous genitalia or other gender development disorders. Our multidisciplinary team offers comprehensive evaluation and treatment to support the child’s health and well-being.

Conditions We Treat

  • Ambiguous Genitalia: Our clinic specializes in diagnosing and managing ambiguous genitalia, a condition where the external genitalia do not clearly indicate male or female sex. We conduct comprehensive diagnostic evaluations, including genetic testing, imaging studies, and hormonal assessments, to determine the underlying cause. Based on the findings, we develop individualized treatment plans that may include medical therapies or surgical interventions to address anatomical and functional concerns.
  • Disorders of Sex Development (DSDs): We provide specialized care for various Disorders of Sex Development (DSDs), where discrepancies exist between chromosomal, gonadal, and phenotypic sex. Our team uses advanced diagnostic techniques to identify the specific type of DSD and its implications. We collaborate with pediatric endocrinologists, geneticists, and other specialists to create a tailored management plan that addresses both medical and psychosocial needs, ensuring the best possible outcomes for the child.
  • Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH): Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) is a condition that affects hormone production, often leading to ambiguous genitalia. Our clinic offers comprehensive treatment options, including hormonal therapies to correct imbalances and surgical procedures to address any resulting anatomical issues. We provide ongoing monitoring and support to manage CAH effectively, aiming to normalize hormone levels and support healthy development.
  • Hypospadias: Hypospadias is a condition where the urethral opening is located on the underside of the penis rather than at the tip. Our team performs surgical correction to reposition the urethral opening, improving both function and appearance. We use advanced surgical techniques to ensure optimal results and address any associated complications.
  • Klinefelter Syndrome: For boys with Klinefelter Syndrome, characterized by an extra X chromosome, we offer comprehensive evaluation and management. This includes assessing developmental and hormonal issues related to the syndrome. Our approach may involve hormonal therapies and supportive treatments to address symptoms and improve quality of life.
  • Multidisciplinary Evaluation: Our team includes pediatric endocrinologists, surgeons, geneticists, and psychologists to provide a comprehensive assessment and personalized care plan.
  • Diagnostic Testing: We use advanced diagnostic tools to determine the underlying causes of gender ambiguity, including genetic testing and imaging studies.
  • Counseling and Support: We offer counseling for families to help navigate the complexities of gender development issues and make informed decisions regarding treatment options.
  • Surgical Interventions: When necessary, we provide surgical options to correct anatomical issues, aiming for the best functional and cosmetic outcomes.
