PMDS

Persistent Müllerian Duct Syndrome (PMDS) is an intersex variation in which one who is AMAB/CTM and has a typically wolffian-appearing body has a uterus, fallopian tubes, and in some cases the top of a vagina connecting to their penis. It is unknown how common this is, however at least 250 individuals with PMDS have been reported in the medical literature.

30-79% of individuals with this variation can't get an individual pregnant, however this is not always the case. In some cases, the individual with this variation can get pregnant themself, if they have sperm injected into them.

One with this variation likely also has a light case of ambiguous genitals or a micropenis. If they are born with a partial vagina, they may also have a case of cryptorchidism.

One with this variation may also have 45,X/46,XY Mosaicism and/or AMAB hypogonadism. Inguinal hernias are also common for those with this variation.

History
