This is a condition that gives a lot of tension and confusion to the parents and this starts soon after birth of the child. The cause is the external genitals of the child are in between a male and female. This condition is called Intersex.
A newborn has external genitals which are a mixture of male and female, and the parents are most interested in knowing whether their child is a boy or a girl. In these cases due to ambiguity of the external genitals, even the doctor is at a loss to pronounce the sex of the child. In some children the problem is more complex, at birth the child looks typically like a male or a female, but after a few years other anomalies crop up when it is realized that things are not as simple and the internal genitals are of the opposite sex.
Difficulty in Passing Urine
The parents in younger children may notice this or the older ones may be able to vocalize and tell their parents. The boy may be straining to pass urine, have a thin stream of urine, which may fall close to his feet. The child may cry when passing urine, may pull at the penile skin after passing urine, or have a habit of rubbing the penile tip skin off and on.
During the course of the day the parents may notice that the child continuously has his hand on his penis. All these are signs of irritation, infection, inflammation of the prepucial skin, which is long standing. The parent may notice a ballooning of the prepucial skin before the urine stream comes out.
