    TLDR Patients with Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome need psychological support and multidisciplinary care for complex treatment decisions.
    The study focuses on Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (CAIS), a condition where individuals with an XY karyotype present with female external genitalia due to insensitivity to androgens. The research highlights the complexity of treatment choices, including sex assignment, hormone replacement, and timing of gonadectomy, emphasizing the importance of psychological support for patients and families. The study underscores the challenges faced when patients choose to identify with their male karyotype, and the need for multidisciplinary strategies to address both medical and psychological aspects of CAIS.
