Q50-Q56: Congenital malformations of genital organs
Congenital malformations of genital organs represent a group of conditions where a baby is born with an abnormal structure of their reproductive organs. These malformations can happen during the development of the baby inside the womb, from either genetic factors or environmental factors like certain medicines or illnesses during pregnancy. Symptoms are usually physical, such as visibly unusual genitals or related issues, like urinating difficulties or discomfort. Typical issues can include undescended testes in boys or abnormalities in the size or structure of the lady parts in girls, or intersex conditions where it's difficult to categorize the baby as distinctly male or female. The exact progression of these conditions varies but can have important impacts on not only physical health, but psychological and social wellbeing through life stages such as puberty, adulthood, and potential parenthood.
