The aim of the study is to encourage a critical debate on the use of normality in the medical literature on DSD or intersex. For this purpose, a scoping review was conducted to identify and map the various ways in which “normal” is used in the medical literature on DSD between 2016 and 2020. We identified 75 studies, many of which were case studies highlighting rare cases of DSD, others, mainly retrospective observational studies, focused on improving diagnosis or treatment. The most common use of the adjective normal was in association with phenotypic sex. Overall, appearance was the most commonly cited criteria to evaluate the normality of sex organs. More than 1/3 of the studies included also medical photographs of sex organs. This persistent use of normality in reference to phenotypic sex is worrisome given the long-term medicalization of intersex bodies in the name of a “normal” appearance or leading a “normal” life. Healthcare professionals should be more careful about the ethical implications of using photographs in publications given that many intersex persons describe their experience with medical photography as dehumanizing.

“…to help transition these complex patients from pediatric to adult care and can also provide counseling on fertility preservation, menstrual suppression/control, medication teratogenicity, and primary ovarian insufficiency. [27][28][29] Besides alleviating provider discomfort with contraception counseling, other common gynecologic issues encountered by this population of patients can be addressed. Female patients with CF have been shown to have menstrual irregularities often associated with hypothalamic amenorrhea, due to CF-associated factors like undernutrition and chronic stress.…”

Background: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a progressive, genetic disease posing reproductive health concerns to affected women, such as high-risk pregnancies and medication interactions leading to contraceptive failure. Reproductive health counseling in this population is of the utmost importance, but barriers to providing it include lack of time, knowledge, and provider discomfort. We sought to evaluate reproductive health counseling and contraceptive use in female adolescent CF patients. Methods: An Institutional Review Board approved retrospective chart review was performed between March 2008 and March 2018. Females 10-21 years old with the diagnosis of CF were reviewed. Descriptive statistics were used. Results: Thirty-three patients met inclusion criteria: 16 non-sexually active and 17 sexually active. Thirteen patients were counseled about pregnancy risks. All sexually active patients used contraception, with the most common being condoms and combined oral contraceptive pills. Six pregnancies occurred, resulting in five live births and one termination.Conclusions: Less than half of patients were counseled about pregnancy and contraception, and most patients chose high failure methods. Female adolescents with CF should be routinely screened for sexual activity, offered long-acting reversible contraception, and counseled on the effects of CF on pregnancy.
