Sexual dystrophies are a group of rare, genetic disorders that affect sexual development in children and adolescents. These dystrophies are characterised by abnormalities in the structure and function of the reproductive organs, which can lead to sexual ambiguity, delayed puberty or lack of puberty. Sexual dystrophies are caused by mutations in specific genes that affect hormonal processes and sexual development. The method of treatment for genital dystrophies can include hormone therapy, surgery and psychological support for patients and their families.
