title: A practical approach to intersex.
abstract: The realm of intersex presents a challenge to the family as well the health care provider. As the physical aspects of diagnosis and management have become better understood, it has become apparent that there are psychological and social aspects that we have only begun to understand. A general overview of intersex issues that may confront the urologic practitioner, and the current concepts of diagnosis and management, are provided.
