Abstract
Fertility is documented in a patient with true hermaphroditism who presented at birth
with ambiguous genitalia. Gender assignment was initially as a male, then appropriately
changed to female. Appropriate reconstruction of the external genitalia and removal
of the right ovatestes was done in infancy. The uterus, ovary on the left, and left
fallopian tube were left intact. Puberty and menstruation occurred normally. Further
genital and vaginal surgery was done during late teenage years. Conception and pregnancy
were uneventful.
