Intersex is an inherited incongruence of chromosomal, gonadal, and genital sexual characteristics. A typical clinical situation of intersex is the ambiguous genitalia in the newborn. Diagnostics, counseling, and therapy should be offered by specialized multidisciplinary health-care teams. The focus is not only on medical issues but also on psychological, social, and ethical aspects. In the international literature, intersex is now termed "disorders of sex development" (DSD). Alternatively, some authors use "differences of sex development" to underline that patients do not necessarily feel they have a "disorder" but rather a "difference" of sex development compared with normal sex development.
间性人是指染色体、性腺和生殖器性特征的遗传性不一致。间性人的典型临床情况是新生儿生殖器模糊。诊断、咨询和治疗应由专业的多学科医疗团队提供。重点不仅在于医学问题，还在于心理、社会和伦理方面。在国际文献中，间性人现在被称为“性发育障碍”（DSD）。另外，一些作者使用“性发育差异”来强调患者不一定觉得自己有“障碍”，而是与正常性发育相比存在性发育“差异”。
