	Disorders of Sex Development (DSDs), also known as differences in sex development, diverse sex development, and variations in sex characteristics (VSC), encompass a group of congenital conditions that affect the reproductive system. DSDs involve atypical development of chromosomal, gonadal, or anatomical sex. This article aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of DSDs, including their classification, causes, diagnosis, management, and the psychosocial aspects.

Disorders of Sex Development (DSDs), also known as differences in sex development, diverse sex development, and variations in sex characteristics (VSC), encompass a group of congenital conditions that affect the reproductive system. DSDs involve atypical development of chromosomal, gonadal, or anatomical sex. This article aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of DSDs, including their classification, causes, diagnosis, management, and the psychosocial aspects.

== Definition and Classification ==
DSDs are characterized by a divergence from typical male or female development. They can be classified into several categories based on their underlying etiology:
* Chromosomal DSDs (e.g., Turner syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome)
* 46,XX DSDs (e.g., Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia)
* 46,XY DSDs (e.g., Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome)
