Abstract
Disorders of sexual development (DSD) are a complex group of disorders to manage, not only because the diagnosis is difficult, but also because it involves many factors related to the psychosexual well being, the social stigma associated with the disorder, confusion and reluctance on the part of medical professionals in dealing with this issue, catastrophic experience of parents of these children and difficult interpersonal relationships between parents and children born with this disorder. This brief review attempts to throw light on the recent advances in understanding and management of these disorders to help improve immediate and long term care of these patients and their families.
