Intersex healthcare differs from the healthcare of endosex people due to the stigma towards and health needs of intersex people.[1] Intersex healthcare is impacted by a history of concealing information from patients and medically unnecessary surgeries that continue to be performed.[2][3] 1.7% of the general population is estimated to be intersex.[4][5] Healthcare for intersex people can include treatments to improve the mental, cognitive, physical, and sexual health of intersex people. The need for and type of care can vary depending on one's intersex variation.
