    TLDR Patients with Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome need psychological support and multidisciplinary care for complex treatment decisions.
    The study focuses on the Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (CAIS), where individuals with an XY karyotype present a female phenotype due to androgen receptor anomalies. It highlights the complexity of treatment choices, particularly regarding gender assignment, hormonal therapy, and timing of gonadectomy. Psychological support is crucial for patients and families, as the decision to embrace a male karyotype presents significant challenges, while choosing a female identity, though seemingly simpler, also involves psychological hurdles. The study underscores the need for new strategies and multidisciplinary attention in managing these patients.
