What is Ambiguous Genitalia?

Ambiguous Genitalia refers to a condition present at birth where the external genitals are not clearly male or female. It may result from hormonal, genetic, or developmental differences affecting sexual anatomy. The condition is also known as a Disorder of Sex Development (DSD).
