Fertility-related health care and decision-making needs for youth with differences of sex development (DSD) are complex and vary by condition and the values and preferences of each individual and their partner and/or family. Discussing fertility implications can be a challenging aspect of clinician and family communication about a DSD diagnosis. This qualitative study assesses fertility-related communication experiences of adolescents and young adults (AYA) with DSD.
