Overview

The aim of my article is to summarize the findings about the physiology of human sexual development and describe the types of intersexuality, their patogeneses, genotypes, phenotypes and the treatment strategies. Abnormal sex differentiations are divided against the type of inner gonad.

Key words:
normal sex differentiation, intersexuality, female pseudohermaphroditism, true hermaphroditism, male pseudohermaphroditism, gonadal dysgenesis
