Tieu Yen is 15 years old in China, is a high school girl.She has a lovely appearance but her chest is almost not developing, especially unprecedented menstruation like other peers.At first, Tieu Yen's mother thought that her daughter only grew slowly, until she heard that it could be a sign of infertility or serious illness, she decided to take her children to a gynecological examination.

"This patient has a strange menstruation" - that is the doctor that makes both Tieu Yen and the mother extremely surprised.The mother and daughter were more panicked when the doctor said that Tieu Yen had absolutely no uterus or ovaries but had hidden testes.In other words, Tieu Yen looks like a girl but the gender is really male.She has lived the wrong gender for 15 years.

Specifically, the results of the chromosome test of Tieu Yen is 46 xy.She has a deficiency of 17α-hydroxylase, a chromosomal diving disease that is often rare, causing fake male bipolar syndrome, also known as androgen-sensitive syndrome.The gender transformation occurs due to androgen hormonal deficiency.

The gene mutation makes the body not receiving male hormones, developing in the direction of women such as chest, vagina, with appearance characteristics of women but there is no complete female reproductive system.This also explains why Tieu Yen has underdeveloped chest, no menstruation and fur developer than usual.

Although the testicular surgery may be removed in the abdomen, Tieu Yen has no ovarian and uterus in the body, so it cannot be pregnant and giving birth.Medicine is very modern but can not perform ovarian transplant.Tieu Yen's mother finished listening to her daughter and then sobbed.

As for Tieu Yen, it took nearly 3 months to be able to accept this truth.After many conversations with her family and receiving the support from psychologist, she said she wanted to live with a female gender even though she could not give birth.Therefore, she had surgery to remove the hidden testes on both sides and was recovering very well.
