The ovaries look normal? Menstruation is normal even though there are no eggs?
- gchamonlive 2y agoWhat does it have to do with anything? There are women without this syndrome that don't have normal ovaries and don't menstruate. Doesn't mean they are less women.
- thaumasiotes 2y ago> What does it have to do with anything? Well, you might look at the quote I responded to. Wikipedia contradicts the claim, though it also seems to contradict its own information on CAIS: > The individual's gonads do not have two X chromosomes, so the breasts will not develop and the uterus will not grow and menstruate It doesn't seem like it'd be difficult to notice without looking at the patient's genetics. However, CAIS patients, despite their XY gonads, do develop female breasts, so at the very least the explanation of Swyer syndrome is a lie.
