Krishna Mehta, a 28-year-old software engineer,...
Krishna Mehta, a 28-year-old software engineer, had always known she was different. Born with ambiguous genitalia, she was raised as female but had never experienced a menstrual cycle. Persistent lower abdominal pain and a palpable mass led her to seek answers. Her endocrinologist, suspecting an internal reproductive structure mismatch, recommended a genitogram to map her internal anatomy. The procedure was a profound emotional experience; lying still in the radiology suite, she felt a mix of anxiety and hope for clarity. The genitogram revealed an underdeveloped uterus and confirmed the presence of testicular tissue. While the news was complex, it provided the definitive map her medical team needed. Post-procedure, she experienced mild discomfort but, more importantly, a sense of relief. The emotional journey shifted from years of confusion and silent worry to empowered understanding. With a clear diagnosis, she could now make informed decisions about her healthcare and identity with her support team.
