Due to the rarity and complexity of these conditions, strong evidence for clinical practices is scarce, leading to controversies in management.
Objective: This study, part of a broader project, examines changes over time in the attitudes and beliefs of DSD healthcare providers, focusing on factors contributing to patients' life satisfaction and the influence of medical specialty, gender, and age.
Introduction/background: Requests for circumcision revision are common in our American pediatric urology clinic. As parents are the surrogate decision maker for their child, there are several influences that can impact a parent's decision for or against circumcision.
Objective: We sought to assess parents' regret regarding their child's circumcision status and to correlate regret to factors that might have affected the original decision.
Article Synopsis
- Clinical decision-making for 46,XY disorders/differences of sex development (DSD) is still controversial, as shown in a survey of clinical specialists from various medical fields conducted over two decades.
- The survey included responses from 429 participants (2003-2004), 435 (2010-2011), and 264 (2019-2020), exploring management recommendations for clinical scenarios involving XY newborns with conditions like micropenis and androgen insensitivity syndrome.
- Key findings revealed a strong preference for male gender of rearing increasing over time, decreasing suggestions for female rearing, and a trend away from parental authority in surgical decision-making, alongside varied timing for surgeries based on the child's gender and condition.
