Dealing with Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome

As with many different syndromes, there are variations of Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome. In complete androgen insensitivity syndrome, the body cannot use androgens period. Individuals have external sex characteristics of females but no uterus so are infertile. They typically have sparse or absent hair under arms and in the pubic area. In partial forms of androgen insensitivity syndrome, the body is partially sensitive to androgens in varying degrees. Partial sensitivity, also known as Reifenstein syndrome, can result in genitalia that look typically female, typically male, or genitalia that have both male and female characteristics. The individuals may have undescended testicles and usually are infertile.
