Medical - Medical (general) / urology | | English term or phrase: ambiguous genitalia | | I am curious how to go about translating the word 'ambiguous genitalia' to make sure that non english speaking patients/parents/family members understand what is happening and do not get confused because of the language barrier. I wish to translate this term into other languages such as spanish, russian, mandarin, cantonese, protuguese, farsi, hindi, punjabi, urdu and tamil. Just as a note, this is not part of a job, and should not be under job posting. Also, it is a medical term, and should be treated as such when translating. |

| | "Pirapuruppu Thorrappizhai" | Explanation:
Actually the other two explanations do serve the purpose to a greater extent with Mr raghavan's scoring a bit above. And mine is an attempt to give an alternative as well as give importance to one of the aspects of this defect.As per the medical definition this term is an EXTERNAL one. So to represent and insist the external-ness I use the alternative "Thorrappizhai". |

Explanation:
Ambiguous Genitalia
Every hour of every day, a baby is born and can easily be identified as a boy or girl. But how distressing it must be when suddenly the birth attendants are unable to say whether the baby is a boy or a girl? This rare situation is usually unanticipated, and can be a difficult experience for all concerned. What causes this condition? What can be done? The following information has been developed to answer questions about ambiguous genitalia. For more, please see: Please see: http://www.urologyhealth.org/pediatric/index.cfm?cat=01&topi...

பிறப்புறுப்பைப் பார்த்துத்தான் பிறந்த குழந்தை ஆணா பெண்ணா என்று சாதாரணமாகக் கூறுவர். ஆனால் இந்த பிரச்சினை இருக்கும் இடத்தில் அவ்வாறு கூறிட இயலாது.
