Male pseudohermaphroditism is a condition where an individual has male gonads (testes) but their external genitalia and secondary sexual characteristics resemble those of a female12. This condition can result from various genetic or hormonal factors that disrupt the typical development of male characteristics during fetal development2.
In some cases, the external sex organs may appear intermediate between typical male and female genitalia, making the condition sometimes not identified until puberty or adulthood1. It’s important to note that the term “pseudohermaphroditism” is considered outdated and is now more commonly referred to as a form of intersex variation1.
