Clinical presentation usually occurs between 2nd and 3rd decades; most cases at puberty. Exceptional cases in younger children; youngest example at 6 months of age. Male pseudohermaphroditism; phenotypically female patients presenting with amenorrhea. XY karyotype: Streak (dysgenetic) gonads with gonadoblastoma. Normal external female genitalia; clitoris enlargement and ambiguous genitalia may ...

A 40-year-old, primigravid woman presented at 23 weeks of gestation for evaluation of an extra-abdominal echogenic cystic mass of the fetus. Amniocentesis revealed a karyotype of 46,XX. Prenatal ultrasound showed a two-vessel umbilical cord, hydrocolpos, and distended bladder, urethra, and colon, and a perineal cystic mass. The kidneys and amniotic fluid amount were normal. Fetal magnetic reson...

A pilonidal sinus is a blind-end tract lined with granulation tissue, which leads to a cystic cavity lined with epithelial tissue. As the name suggests, these hair containing abscesses are usually found in the sacro-coccygeal region. However, they may also occasionally occur in the axilla, groin, inter-digital web, umbilicus, nose, inter-mammary areas, supra-pubic area, clitoris, prepuce, penis...

A candidate gene for sex determination was localized within a 35 kb region of the Y chromosome immediately adjacent to the pseudoautosomal boundary. Here, we describe a study of Sry detection in the gonads of intersex patients including 5 male pseudohermaphrodite (MPH), 4 XX true hermaphrodite (TH) and each 1 mixed gonadal dysgenesis (MGD) and XX sex reversal, and in the clitoris of 3 female ps...

T HE AIM of this paper is to examine the psychoanalytic concept of feminine passivity as described by Freud and to review challenges of this concept by feminists and other psychoanalysts. The concept of feminine passivity is, as will be demonstrated later in this paper, dependent upon two other psychoanalytic concepts related to women: (1) penis envy and (2) that the clitoris is an inadequate a...

This prospective study on female genital mutilation among Edo people was based on female children and parents who presented on account of it at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital, Benin City, Nigeria, between January 2002 and December 2007. During the period, 51 female children aged 10 days and 18 years presented with complications following genital mutilation. Twenty-nine were brought b...

We examine a Twitter attack against our phEmaterialist pedagogy during UK-wide COVID-19 lockdown. explore how trolls swarmed together in collective mocking and ridiculing of images colorful Play-doh genital models posted as part Master’s module we teach. The session explored “clitoral validity” feminist pedagogical concept to disrupt phallocentric sexuality education through the modeling vulva ...

A rare cause of clitoral hypertrophy in a child is neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). Although evaluation, including karyotype and hormonal studies, is necessary to exclude ambiguous genitalia, the diagnosis of neurofibromatosis as a possible cause of clitoromegaly may help avoid lengthy and sometimes invasive interventions.

I have an embarrassing odor problem in the crotch area due to sweating. The odor is the same as underarm body odor. FDS didn't seem to help any. Cornstarch and powders work for about an hour. I wear only cotton panties. It seems that gel deodorants (Mitchum/Soft & Dri) are the only products that will control the odor for more than one hour (not long enough). Is using antiperspirants/deodorants ...

Proteins (18-20 kDa) belonging to lipocalin family have been reported to act as carriers for ligands binding to pheromones in mouse urine, pig saliva, hamster vaginal fluid and human sweat, that are involved in pheromonal communication. As the preputial gland is a major pheromonal source, the present study was aimed to detect the specific protein bands (around 18-20 kDa) in the preputial and cl...
