What Is Androgyny Posted: 07-25-07 20:08pm
my five year old complaines about her
private area. she has woke up with her
clit swollen. i took her to the dr. they
say she may be masterbating, i dont think
so, and no one has touched her. her breast
have developed slightly. we have even had
urinalisis done they come back negative.
CAN THIS BE ANDROGYNY? and HOW DO I GET
HER CHECK?

Not androgyny- definitely. Androgyny is
the lack of any gender, which she doesn't
have. She also is probably not a
hermaphrodite, (which is what you meant,
when she has male parts? I think) as
doctors would've noticed before now. I
really don't think you need to worry. She
sounds perfectly normal.
Honestly, she probably was masturbating.
Kids often rub against things innocently
because it feels good. It isn't
necessarily masturbating like you would
think of an adult doing it, more like
scratching an itch. She doesn't know what
it is.
Is she using bubble bath or anything? That
can sometimes be irritating to the
genitals, especially for girls.

Masturbation is something healthy that
many young girls discover on their own.
She is a healthy little girl. What exactly
was urinalysis supposed to show?
It IS very unusual (I think?) for her
breasts to be developing. I think it is
far more likely that she is simply gaining
some child-hood weight, and this has made
her chest look bigger.
The only check for androgyny is to look at
her genitals... if she has them, any at
all, then she's not androgynous... As the
other poster said, androgyny is the LACK
of sexual definition. From what you have
described, it seems your 5 year old is
very female.

If her breasts are developing this early,
there is something wrong and she needs to
get her hormones checked. (thyroid
especially)

i thank u 4 your comments and info she did
have hypo thyroidism but does not have it
now she gets checked regularly 4 her
thyroid and her hormones and nothing
irregular shows up and the doctors say
that "If it isn't prohibiting her growth
she is fine. she definitly has NO male
parts but enlarged breast is concerning
me. And she is asleep when these episodes
happens and she wakes up saying "ouch' and
trying to go back to sleep so i make her
get up to go to the bathroom and she goes.
and i noticed she had this problem cause
she still is holdin herself saying ouch so
i tell her i will put medicine on it in
the mornin so we go back to bed and it has
gone down in the mornin so i leave it
alone.

i don't think it is weight gain she is
only 36 pounds but i do thank you for your
info and she definitly does not have any
male parts but the dr.s say 'if its not
prohibiting her growth then she is fine
and the urinalisis i was thinking it was
maybe it was a urinary tract infection.
but it wasn't

Glad to hear everything is okay.
I think the breast development may be due
to the hypo-thyroidism.

I think this is really something that
should be discussed with a pediatrician.
