Generality
Morris syndrome - also known as androgen insensitivity syndrome or testicular feminization syndrome - is a congenital condition that results from the impaired sensitivity of a male's cells to androgens.
Androgens are the male sex hormones; their maximum exponent is testosterone.
Based on the level of numbness, doctors recognized the existence of a syndrome partial numbness to androgens and a syndrome of complete numbness to androgens. In the first case, the patient can be a carrier of male and female genitals; in the second case, it presents the external genital apparatus of a woman, therefore it is considered a female person.
Unfortunately, there is no therapeutic remedy that restores the sensitivity of cells to androgens; the only treatments available today are symptomatic.
