Sometimes the genitals are not clearly male or female (ambiguous genitals), which is most common in girls with congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
To determine the sex of an infant who has ambiguous genitals, a physical examination, imaging tests, and blood tests to analyze chromosomes and measure hormone levels are done .
