Testicular Feminization | Symptoms & Signs | Diagnosis & Tests | Prevention & Expectations | Treatment & Monitoring

How is the condition diagnosed?

Often the condition is diagnosed when small hernias in girls reveal tissue like that of testicles. The diagnosis is considered whenever women have amenorrhea. Genetic testing reveals normal male chromosomes. Often a pelvic exam will be done and a test to measure hormone levels in the blood will be done.
