Doctors from a southern pediatrics hospital are conducting both testicular and ovarian tests on a six-year-old intersex child to identify his “real” sex, a doctor said on Wednesday.

V.B.N., from the Mekong Delta’s Soc Trang Province, was born with male genitalia, said Le Cong Thang, deputy head of the Surgery Department at Ho Chi Minh City’s Children Hospital No.1.

But a chromosome test – known as a Karyotype test – showed that N. is female, Thang said.
