Abstract

Summary:  In a two-year period, 22 cases of intersexual disorders in infancy and childhood were encountered. A majority of the cases were female intersexes. Most of the cases were seen after the age of one month, and some of the reasons for this delay in seeking medical attention include parental feeling of shame, or the desire to have a child with a particular sex, and casual examination of the baby at birth by midwives or doctors.
