Abnormal Genitalia In Newborns

Dr Vivek M Rege

A newborn has external genitals which are a mixture of male and female, and the parents are most interested in knowing whether their child is a boy or a girl. In these cases due to ambiguity of the external genitals, even the doctor is at a loss to pronounce the sex of the child. In some children the problem is more complex, at birth the child looks typically like a male or a female, but after a few years other anomalies crop up when it is realized that things are not as simple and the internal genitals are of the opposite sex.
