My genetic results came back today and were negative, karyotype was as expected, and no pathogenic variation of genes detected (for PAIS).
I know there was only probably less than 50% chance of finding any anyway, but I am really upset by this. I still have plenty of documented evidence and the hypospadias, but all of that evidence since puberty is just from my word of mouth, it doesn't feel hard evidence. Hope I can still at least get a clinical diagnosis soon.

For over 2 decades, I tried to be more "manly". I tried so hard with dating, with socializing, with sports, competition and fitness. Much of this was a failure. I put it down to both genetics and being lazy. Not being confident enough, not working out hard enough etc.

It wasn't until recently (after starting to live as a woman) when I found out that PAIS was even a thing, that I realized that that was what I had. Explained the low muscle mass etc. All the evidence pointed directly at that, and I am still sure of that.

I just really wanted that genetic evidence. Proof for who I am & why I am. 😢

Has anyone here ever been diagnosed with a enlarged prostatic utricle (aka vagina masculina, or a type of mullerian remnant)?

Apparently, it is commonly associated with hypospadias, though I can't find much information about it. I have PAIS and born with 2nd degree proximal hypospadias.

More so since starting estrogen a few years back, I've felt more discomfort around the urinary area, often thinking I have a UTI when the urine culture comes back negative. I am wondering whether such a blind utricle could be the cause of such symptoms, like causing urine pooling, especially when I am lying down.
