Overview
If the diagnosis of 17 beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency is made at birth, gender assignment should be discussed, depending on the expected result of virilization genioplasty.
Medical therapy
- If the diagnosis of 17 beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency is made at birth, gender assignment should be discussed, depending on the expected result of virilization genioplasty.
- Affected individuals who raised as male may virilize on their own or with the help of testosterone treatment.
- In female patients who underwent gonadectomy, appropriate intervention with estrogen therapy should be introduced at the time of puberty to induce secondary sexual characteristics.
- Gender identity starts to develop around age 3 but it is not clear when it can be reliably assessed.
- The patient and family will require psychological counseling to accept the diagnosis and the infertility that follows it.[1]
