Man with a stomachache learns He is a woman

Diagnosis for 44-year-old Chinese: Genetically, he is a woman

07/27/2014

A 44-year-old went to a doctor for complaints such as abdominal pain and blood in the urine. This came to the diagnosis that the man is genetically a woman and his / her days have. Intersexuality, in which people by definition can not be clearly classified as male or female, is not at all so rare.

Man is not sick but a woman
For a Chinese man from near Shanghai, the medical diagnosis was probably a shock. Like the Swiss media portal „Blick.ch“ reported that the 44-year-old had turned to a doctor for complaints such as abdominal pain and blood in the urine. The examination at Yongkang Hospital revealed that the patient was not ill. The doctor came much more to the conclusion that the man is actually a woman.

Man with fallopian tube and uterus
The married man was therefore informed that the blood is menstrual blood. This is due to the fact that apart from the external genitals, he is equipped with the organs of a woman, that is, with the fallopian tube and uterus. As the portal further writes, the investigation revealed that the patient named Chen had a pair of XX sex chromosomes. Genetically, he was a woman, as Chinese media reported. As further communicated, the shocked man said that he had had sex with his wife. For a therapy he was reportedly too old.

Tens of thousands of intersex people in Germany
Basically, intersex is not that rare. Exact numbers do not exist yet, but estimates are based on tens of thousands of intersex people in Germany. The German Ethics Council defines the term as follows: „Intersexuals are people who can not be clearly classified as male or female because of their physical characteristics of gender.“ For example, a human being born with male XY chromosomes may have one outwardly „Mrs“ his and one with the female chromosome set XX can be more like one „man“ appearance. Since the end of last year, parents in Germany have the option of leaving the entry in the birth register open if their child was born intersexually. Before, a male or female assignment had to take place. (Ad)
