Swyer syndrome vs Hermaphrodite

Now, we will talk about the difference between Swyer syndrome and hermaphrodite. I guess I don't need to explain more about Swyer syndrome because I spilled about it a lot in the previous post. I presume you guys understand what is Swyer syndrome. Straight off, let's move to hermaphrodite. 

Granting to the web site www.datahookup.com, it stated that true hermaphrodite is anyone given birth with both ovarian and testicular tissues. There are 2 categories of hermaphrodite which is Female Pseudo-Hermaphrodite and Male Pseudo-Hermaphrodite.

Female Pseudo-Hermaphrodite is a circumstance where the women have ovaries but in the same time, she possesses male or ambiguous characteristic externally. It is caused by excessive male hormones in her body.

Male Pseudo-Hermaphrodite is a condition where the man has testicles, and female ambiguous external characteristics, and their characteristic is more to feminist. It is caused by the reduced tissue response to testosterone, maternal ingestion of estrogens, errors in the production of testosterone, and defects in androgen-dependent tissues.
