Ambiguous genitalia
English
A term used to describe a birth variation in which the outer genitals do not have the typical appearance of those associated with either boys or girls. This is often the first sign many doctors and parents see that indicate their child has an intersex variation. Ambiguous genitalia can be caused by a variety of variations and rarely require immediate surgical intervention as long as the child is able to excrete and urinate without complications. Many intersex people find this term stigmatizing, so it should not be used unless the individual uses it to describe themselves.
