Babies with atypical genitalia

You have been given this fact sheet because your baby has been born with genitals that look a bit different (atypical). These genital differences are sometimes referred to as 'intersex variations', 'differences of sex development' or 'variations in sex characteristics'.

This fact sheet provides information for families to fully understand the issues and risks associated with your child's specific intersex variation to make informed decisions about their best care and treatment.
