Disorders of Sex Development (DSDs) encompass a range of conditions where an individual has atypical chromosomal, gonadal, or genital characteristics, leading to differences in sex development. These variations can become apparent at birth, during puberty, or later in adulthood. Dr. Prashant Gaikwad, a specialist in endocrinology, provides expert consultation and treatment for individuals with DSDs, ensuring personalized and compassionate care.
